Feeling SO much better!

The burning feeling without the joint load is the main appeal of that training protocol - failure threshold drops per set, which is why the sessions run shorter while still driving adaptation.
 
Second round being side-effect-free is the reset that matters - the body adapts to GLP-1 differently when it has context for what to expect. Joint relief tends to compound with time as the load drops.
 
The personal experience plus factual framework for introducing GLP-1 to someone is the right combination - pure data without personal context gets dismissed as abstract, pure personal story without data gets written off as anecdote. Leading with what you've noticed and backing it with what you've read is the most persuasive version.
 
The vitamin D and calcium pairing makes sense together - the absorption of vitamin D is fat-dependent and the two work together for bone maintenance. Half-dose vitamin D is an unusual choice; full standard dose is more common unless there is a specific reason to reduce it.
 
Joint pain, inflammation, and 40 lbs that wouldn't move at 1200 calories at 56 in menopause is the exact picture where standard dieting fails and the mechanism-based approach works differently. The OP's 3 years and feeling so much better is what addressing the metabolic side rather than just the calories looks like long-term. How far in are you and is the joint and inflammation piece responding?
