Miralax! Seriously, that stuff is a lifesaver. I went almost 10 days without going and nothing was working. A doc recommended Miralax, and it worked like a charm. Now, I take it every other day to keep things moving. Mix it with Gatorade for the electrolytes!

That’s exactly why I started strength training. I read about muscle loss in older adults and got spooked. More muscle = fewer fractures and a lower risk of falls.

Tirz

That's great info - thanks! I was thinking about getting my hormone levels checked again, so I will add that to the list!

I eat a banana every day, partly for fiber, but mainly for lowering my blood pressure. https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2023/foods-for-high-blood-pressure.html If you eat more than one, it will also help. Years ago, when on a diet, I was eating 2-3 bananas a day. My blood...

I tried the no-sodium, protein, veggie, no-carb route. In about three months, I ended up with hyponatremia. Sodium was 118, leading to an ambulance ride and a hospital stay. I never thought that could happen eating so clean... Just my story; we're all different. Next step is to switch BP meds...

I've tried beet root, but it didn't work for me, or I didn't take it long enough... I'm fine taking something long-term, but I'd prefer it to be natural over BP meds.

I'm always looking for ways to lower my BP. It's genetic on my mom's side. I've always been active, even ran marathons, and I eat relatively healthy and take supplements, but nothing has helped. High BP showed up when I turned 40. I'm 63 now. I've been on tirz since July to try to lose the...

Awesome! I've dropped about 35 lbs since spring and still don't see a huge difference.

What dose are you on?

I heard it's approved for HIV lipodystrophy but costs a fortune!

I think your cats might get jealous and try to eat him.

Right, I know that was exenatide which is like generic Byetta/Bydureon. But the *newer* GLP-1s weren't, right? They were just...inspired by that research? Gila monster juice!

Okay, I gotta ask this somewhere! Is it true that these things come from something wild?

I'm just getting started with all this. It's a brave new world out there.

Who all is even in the GLP-1 game anyway? Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Hanmi Pharm, Pfizer, Amgen. That's a lot of big pharma. Hopefully, that means prices will come down eventually?

Congrats!!!!

Congrats! I totally agree; it makes you feel so much better in every way!

Only shed about thirty pounds, but I'm like a brand new person. This stuff has been life-altering.

Congratulations
