    GLP-1s: Gut issues & autoimmunity?

    The visceral fat reduction is one of the more underappreciated GLP-1 mechanisms - it shows up in inflammatory markers, fertility improvements, and gut symptom changes even without major weight loss. For IBS and autoimmune overlap, the GI motility changes cut both ways: slower gastric emptying...

    Hit my goal!

    Hitting the goal before adding serious gym time is actually the right sequence for a lot of people - managing calories first removes the weight and the joint load improves enough that exercise becomes more accessible than it was. Adding gym work now means you're starting from a much better...

    First week, feelin' nothin'?

    0.25mg is purely for tolerability - effect at that dose is limited or absent for most people.

    5 months in and feeling GREAT!

    Awesome! I'm also on month 5! I just finished my first dose of 7.5mg. I say go up! I lost a bunch on 5mg and felt fantastic. No food noise, no hunger. I was on a different GLP-1 before, so maybe that's why the higher doses are working so well. But 5mg and 7.5mg have been total game changers!

    GLP-1 meds: conflicting advice. Help!

    If you can get it, go for tirzepatide. It tends to have fewer side effects and better weight loss results compared to other options.

    Reta delivery -- how long is too long?

    I saw an interesting article about weight loss drugs and sports performance in the Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/health/wellness/ozempic-amateur-athletes-3fc9e0bf?st=jgBnBU&reflink=article_email_share

    Reta delivery -- how long is too long?

    Hit them up via email or their social channels. Normally I get my stuff in two to three weeks depending on the shipping gods and customs. Over a month sounds like trouble. Try putting your tracking number into 17TRACK, sometimes that has better info.

    GHK-Cu: PBS vs. BAC water?

    I inject multiple times a day, sometimes up to six times! I started with 1mg, but it stung. Then I added KPV. Now I'm at 2mg of copper, 1mg of basic, and 800mcg of KPV each day, split into two doses.

    GHK-Cu: PBS vs. BAC water?

    Me too! I also have eczema, and my skin is hydrated now. My pores look smaller, and my skin tone is more even. It’s also smoother and more radiant. Tired_of_Tired
