    Customs Crackdown?

    The road-route workaround for Vancouver customs is a real trade-off - slower but avoiding a known chokepoint is often the right call during a crackdown period.

    Reta and Heart Rate: What's your experience?

    Moving from MJ to reta with a pre-existing HR condition worth tracking carefully - reta's mechanism is different enough that some people who had HR issues on tirz find it more manageable, but the baseline monitoring protocol your GP has in place is the right approach either way.

    Switching to Reta - dosage Qs

    Has anyone switched to Reta after being on 15mg of MJ? How did it go? Did you start with a lower dose? I'm currently trying out TIRZ and also ordered something to stack with it, but I haven't lost any weight in months, even though I'm doing everything right. I'm thinking maybe it's time to...

    GLP-1s kill cravings?

    Interesting. A patient mentioned to me that soon after they started on Mounjaro, after over a decade of seriously trying, they finally lost interest in cigarettes. Didn’t use any patches or other aids, the desire simply vanished.

    Suddenly I'm...visible?

    Dude! It happened to me twice this week. Two different women checked me out and smiled. I'm not used to that kind of attention. I'm married and in my 50's but I still thought it was fun. I've also had a few people say, "you look great" lately. The kind of friends who would also say "you look...

    Weight Back After GLP-1s -- Inevitable?

    I totally agree with that statement about grey market GLP-1s being a no-brainer. But it's harder to justify at full retail prices. Every cost-effectiveness analysis I've seen says they're too expensive per QALY gained (quality of life year) until they get much cheaper. If that changes...

    GLP-1s kill cravings?

    Yup. If you're struggling to quit and have tried other methods without success, it's worth exploring (if you can afford it). It's like a mental reset, and you may not even miss it. But, on 2.5mg during month three (so not a full dose), the alcohol cravings have made a small comeback, not daily...

    Weight Back After GLP-1s -- Inevitable?

    I tried to post a graph from the article, but it didn't work. It's in the journal article if you want to check it out. I've uploaded PDFs before, so I'm not sure why the image isn't working.

    Weight Back After GLP-1s -- Inevitable?

    I saw this interesting study recently: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(26)00043-X/fulltext It suggests that people might only put back around 75% of what they initially lost on GLP-1s, which translates to an overall long-term weight reduction of about 5%. It's...

    NAD+/MOTS-c/5-Amino-1MQ - bad idea?

    Tesamorelin is mainly prescribed for HIV patients with too much stomach fat. I've only heard of Ipamorelin being combined with Sermorelin for other cases. Tesa is fairly strong on its own, from what I've read.

    NAD+/MOTS-c/5-Amino-1MQ - bad idea?

    5-amino-1mq is water soluble. I'm currently experimenting with it and kisspeptin-10 and everything seems fine.

    Glow/Klow & Cancer History: Risky?

    I think it's that they don't cause cancer, but they'll make any cancer you already have grow faster. So: if you don't have cancer cells, GLOW/KLOW won't hurt you. If you do, GLOW/KLOW will help them grow. But not taking it won't make the cancer go away, either. It's a risk you have to decide...

    Glow/Klow & Cancer History: Risky?

    I'm curious about that option... How much of each, and how are the injections? Any pain or injection site reactions? Are the benefits the same as Klow? I do have a history of skin cancer.

    Glow/Klow & Cancer History: Risky?

    I'm wondering the same thing! I had a melanoma removed back in '19. I'm taking a chance with Klow for now, and I've seen mixed info too. I'm trying to eliminate other things that could cause cancer, hoping that will be enough to keep me safe.

    Natural ozempic alternative?

    Me too! I'm definitely curious to see how it stacks up against the current GLP-1 meds down the road. I keep hearing about lawsuits and shortages, so another option would be awesome.

    Natural ozempic alternative?

    Here's an article from Stanford Medicine about it. They used AI to find a peptide that seems to curb appetite and cause weight reduction in mice and pigs. https://med.stanford.edu
