    Optometrist was... not great

    He behaves like that because women in the past put up with it. He is so disgusting and there's no chance I would ever go back there. I hope his retirement is miserable. What a terrible person.

    Ozempic price drop?

    I found another med, Ipamorelin, that helps people lose weight. Anyone know how much it is? I'm meeting with my doctor next week to discuss adding ipamorelin to my regimen. Can anyone give me a general cost of using this peptide?

    Ozempic price drop?

    And the prices are going up in Canada now. They want to drop the price here, so they are raising them there. The big bosses still get paid, and we get screwed.

    Ozempic price drop?

    I saw on GoodRx, you have to swear you have zero insurance, like no Medicare or Medicaid, not just that you pay out of pocket. That's annoying since Medicare doesn't usually cover weight loss stuff. I need to find out more from my pharmacy.

    GLP-1 Side Effects...Or Superpowers?

    Exactly! It's about more than just the number on the scale. It's about improved mobility, reduced joint pain, and increased confidence to try new things.

    GLP-1 Side Effects...Or Superpowers?

    I think some of these are plausible, at least indirectly. Improved sleep and energy levels can impact all sorts of things. I've also heard reports of boosted confidence.

    Big Food Strikes Back at GLP-1s?

    Exactly. It's a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach. Medication alone isn't the answer.

    Big Food Strikes Back at GLP-1s?

    What will all this stuff do to the millions of people who aren't using GLP-1s? Just give them a fast pass to obesity and diabetes??

    Big Food Strikes Back at GLP-1s?

    Is there an actual article on this somewhere that isn't some rando's opinion on social media? I'd like to read something with a bit more substance.

    Down 80 lbs in 3 years!

    It's great to hear you're prioritizing strength training! It's crucial when using GLP-1s. Studies have shown that a significant portion of weight loss can be lean muscle mass if preventative measures aren't taken.

    Reta newbie w/foot pain - coincidence?

    Starting low makes sense initially if you're worried about side effects, but don't stay there too long if you aren't seeing results. Titrate up until you find a dose that works for you while still being manageable.

    Down 40 on Sema!

    Reta newbie w/foot pain - coincidence?

    Your Reta is probably fine. Peptides are pretty resilient. Someone even shook a vial hard, and it was still effective. Are you new to GLP-1s? That's the only reason I can think of to start so low. Remember, Reta takes 4 weeks to work fully, so wait that long between increases. Since you started...

    Down 140+ lbs, still cant believe it!

    Wonderful progress! For those experiencing significant weight loss, have you noticed any skin laxity issues? It's a common concern after losing a substantial amount.

    Reta newbie w/foot pain - coincidence?

    I think the foot thing is probably unrelated. And yeah, that's a really small dose. I wouldn't expect much to happen at that level, just from my experience.
