The ipamorelin probably plays a role here. It builds muscle when you're training and can cause some water retention. Both of those things work against seeing fat loss on the scale, which is something I've noticed too.

Muscle Loss: A Serious GLP-1 Side Effect?

Coming here to learn has been really helpful. Read a lot of the clinical stuff and hydration notes. Cold feet showed up but that's it so far. Honestly expected muscle to hold up better with a slower pace, so this full stop caught me off guard.

An app that makes tracking easier does most of the work. The connection between eating better and feeling better gets obvious fast.
Right, the mechanisms don't compete. GHK-Cu is mostly about tissue remodeling and gene expression shifts, glutathione is the antioxidant clearance side. They're addressing different downstream effects of the same stressor. Running both doesn't create redundancy - they fill separate slots. The combination makes more sense than either alone if someone is dealing with accelerated catabolism on GLP-1.

Getting nauseous on workout days is the worst - my body paired the two together. Head wins sometimes.

The heart-is-a-muscle point is the one that gets under-discussed with rapid weight loss - cardiac muscle has the same protein-intake dependency as skeletal muscle. At 77, asking specifically about bone density alongside the standard labs is worth doing; the threshold conversation is different at this age.

Lifting weights isn't optional here. Skip weight bearing exercise and roughly 40 percent of what you lose ends up being muscle instead of fat.
