Quinn Stillson, MD, is a physician and strength coach. Each episode takes one question and works through the research: Does BPC-157 actually help injuries heal? How much muscle do GH peptides build, and do you keep it? Is retatrutide the right GLP-1 for you? Which supplements are worth taking, and which aren’t? You’ll get the mechanisms, the human data, the risks and an honest read on how strong the evidence is, including when the answer is “we don’t know yet.” Topics include peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, MOTS-c, Semax and more), GLP-1s like semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide, testosterone, supplements, longevity testing and training for healthspan. Episodes are the audio versions of videos from the Quinn Stillson MD YouTube channel. When an episode refers to charts or study graphics, you’ll find them in the video.

  • Full Body MRI: Who Should (& Should Not) Get One

    Full Body MRI: Who Should (& Should Not) Get One
    Oct 17 2026
    Should you get a full body MRI? Most people decide based on cost. That's the wrong question. Even with unlimited money, for the average person the scan sends roughly 10 people down a path of potential harm for every 1 it potentially helps. But there is a specific group of people where it's worth it, and this video shows you how to find out if you're one of them. In this video, Dr. Quinn Stillson (MD, A4M board-certified in longevity medicine) walks through the actual evidence on whole body MRI screening, the kind sold direct-to-consumer by Prenuvo, Ezra (now Function Health) and others: what a standard scan can and can't see, how likely it is to find something that matters for YOU, the real numbers on incidental findings, biopsies and overdiagnosis, and a step-by-step framework for deciding. No sales pitch, no "it's a scam." Just the data, finding by finding. The result: a three-tier system for who should get one, who shouldn't, and how to do it right if you do. In this video, you'll learn: Why a full body MRI is NOT the same as an MRI of every body part (and what that costs you in detail) The cancers it actually sees well vs. the ones it's nearly blind to (colon, breast, lung, prostate) Which sequences a scan needs (T1, T2, STIR, DWI, Dixon) and the tell for a scan that's skipping them The add-ons: brain MRA, FLAIR, volumetrics, cardiac strain, body composition. Which are worth it The real cancer detection rate (1.57%) and how your genes, family history and medical history change it The non-cancer findings that can change what you do: fatty liver, AAA, spine fractures, pancreatic cysts, brain aneurysms, meningiomas Tracking data (brain volume, muscle quality, organ volumes): what the scan adds over DEXA and bloodwork Why ~30% of people get an indeterminate finding and only 2-4% have something serious The hidden costs: anxiety, extra imaging, radiation, biopsies, surgery for benign findings Overdiagnosis: why 42-58% of screen-detected kidney cancers were never going to hurt anyone The decision framework: elevated AND spread-out risk, the tracking gate, age, and anxiety The three tiers (and the "do not get one" list) How to do it right: the 3 questions to ask the provider, ONCO-RADS, and planning repeat scans Best for: – Anyone considering a Prenuvo, Ezra or other direct-to-consumer full body MRI – People with a family history or genetic risk trying to figure out if the scan actually helps them – Longevity enthusiasts who want the tracking data and need to know if it's worth it – Anyone who already got one and is staring at an "indeterminate finding" – Clinicians who want the numbers, not the marketing Timestamps 00:00 Should You Get a Full Body MRI? Why This Is Not a Cost Question 01:51 Full Body vs Dedicated MRI - Why It Sees Less 03:54 Cancers It Detects & Misses 05:38 Other Findings It Detects & Misses (Aneurysms, Cysts, Fractures, Etc) 07:10 Not All Scans Are Equal: Sequences & Skimping 09:11 Add-Ons - Body Comp, Brain MRA & Volumetrics, Heart Strain, Organ Aging 11:12 Cancer Detection Rate in YOU & Why It's Individualized 12:50 Genes, Family History, & Medical History: What Raises YOUR Odds 15:42 Fatty Liver, AAA & Spine Fractures 18:19 Pancreatic Cysts, Heart Strain & Brain Aneurysms 21:30 Tracking: Muscle Quality, Brain Volume, & Organ Aging 23:28 Risk #1 - The 30% Problem (Indeterminate Findings) 24:54 Anxiety, Extra Imaging, Biopsies & Surgery 28:31 Overdiagnosis - Was the Cancer ACTUALLY Going to Hurt You? 31:26 Should YOU Get One? The 2 Conditions (Elevated AND Spread Out Risks) 35:05 Tracking Data: Worth It? 36:34 Age & Anxiety: The Final 2 Decision Makers 38:02 The 3 Tiers of Use Cases (& Who Should NOT Get One) 40:30 Do It Right, Steps 1-3 - What to Ask, Which Add-Ons, & Results Plan 42:45 Do It Right, Steps 4-5 - Screenings & Repeat Scans Get the FREE Full Body MRI Decision Guide (every risk factor, every number, and the walkthrough from this video): https://www.quinnstillsonmd.com/home#mri-guide Subscribe for weekly videos on peptides, longevity & performance!

  • I Ranked Every Way to Build Muscle & Lose Fat - Most Aren't Worth It.

    I Ranked Every Way to Build Muscle & Lose Fat - Most Aren't Worth It.
    Sep 19 2026
    Most people building muscle and losing fat are optimizing the wrong variable. The single fastest studied way to gain muscle adds 13 lbs of lean mass in 10 weeks — but effectiveness alone tells you nothing about whether something is worth doing. The interventions with the biggest body composition effects are very often the worst things you can do for your long-term health. In this video, Dr. Quinn Stillson (MD + strength coach) ranks EVERY body recomposition intervention on three axes: how much muscle and fat it actually moves in kilograms, what it costs you on the longevity axis, and how much human evidence actually exists. Everything gets plotted on one graph — from creatine to trenbolone — so you can see the trade-off for yourself instead of being told what to think. The result: five free, unglamorous interventions get you 80–90% of the best body composition you can reach without paying for it somewhere else. Everything else is competing for what's left. In this video, you'll learn: Why testosterone is the perfect case study for how dose and duration drive BOTH efficacy and longevity harm Tier 1: the exact resistance training volume, cardio prescription, step count, deficit size, protein target, and sleep parameters — with the kg effect size for each How much muscle and fat you can actually gain and lose naturally (the FFMI ceiling) Why GLP-1s are Tier 1b and not Tier 1 — and what most people get wrong about muscle loss on them Comprehensive lab optimization: the full panel and what fixing your deficiencies is actually worth Creatine's real effect size — and why it nearly matches TRT at 1% of the cost GH peptides: the honest efficacy number, who's a candidate, and why the gains are rented, not owned Myostatin/activin inhibitors (bimagrumab) — the best recomp data in existence, and why you can't get it MOTS-c, 5-Amino-1MQ, SLU-PP-332 — what the animal data shows and why it likely won't transfer Anabolic steroids: what they actually give you, what the cardiovascular data really says, and how much you keep after stopping Supraphysiologic GH: 27 RCTs, increased lean mass, zero strength improvement SARMs, insulin, clenbuterol, and DNP — ranked honestly, not dismissed Why HMB, collagen, omega-3, citrulline, and EAAs didn't make any tier Best for: – Anyone who wants to build muscle and lose fat without trading away healthspan – People currently using or considering peptides, TRT, or anabolic steroids – Lifters who've plateaued and are deciding what to add next – Clinicians and biohackers who want effect sizes and evidence grades, not opinions – Anyone tired of being sold supplements that do nothing Timestamps 00:00 Efficacy, Longevity, & Strength of Evidence - The Ranking Axes 01:59 Testosterone (Men & Women) - Doses for Efficacy + Longevity 07:41 Importance of Tier 1 & How We’re Ranking the Interventions 09:18 Optimizing Resistance Training for Muscle Growth 12:24 Optimizing Aerobic Training for Body Recomp 16:41 Tracking NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) 18:22 Calorie Deficit - How Large Should Your Deficit Be? 20:09 Protein - Daily Amount & Timing 22:45 Sleep Optimization for Body Recomp - Duration, Timing, Alcohol 26:14 How Much Muscle Can You Actually Gain Naturally with Tier 1? 28:29 How to Track Body Composition at Home 30:16 GLP-1s - Why They’re NOT Tier 1 35:00 Cagrilintide & Amylin Agonists - Add-Ons to GLP-1s? 36:24 Myostatin/Activin Inhibitors (Bimagrumab) - The Future of Body Recomp? 38:12 Tier 2 - Lab Optimization (+ Starting Lab Panel for Body Recomp) 42:56 Creatine - Why It’s Still UNDERrated 45:27 Tier 3 - GH Peptides - ACTUAL Effect Size (Overrated?) 51:33 Tier 4 - MOTS-c - Do You Need it to Optimize GLP-1 Use? 54:24 5-Amino-1MQ & SLU-PP-332 - Worth The Cost? 56:59 Tier 5 - Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use (Long-Term) 01:01:21 Short-Term Anabolic Use - Lower Risk? 01:05:08 Efficacy of Short-Term Anabolic Use - Do Gains Last After Stopping? 01:09:34 Growth Hormone (Supraphysiologic) & GH vs GH Peptides 01:13:17 SARMs, Insulin, Clenbuterol, & DNP 01:15:40 Why Most Interventions Aren’t Worth It Get the free peptide guide at my website: quinnstillsonmd.com Purchase the Hume Body Pod below (FSA/HSA eligible) — up to 50% off!
