My daughter is currently away for a semester in the UK and is feeling really exhausted as she tries to adjust to the 5-hour time difference. Between keeping up with her schoolwork and trying to stay active at the gym, she's really feeling the burnout. I've been hearing a lot lately about teenagers using peptides to help with school and gym performance. I want to start her on a 1-3 items and see if it helps. What is everyone's experience or thoughts on this?

I’m 38 and have always been active. I originally got into peptides using the Wolverine stack for a running-related knee injury. About 10 weeks ago I started a pretty aggressive cut while trying to maintain/build muscle. I started at 215 lbs / 24% BF by DEXA and am currently 190 lbs, estimating around 15% BF. I lift 5x/week for about an hour and run 3x/week. For most of the cut I was eating very clean, in a deficit, and very low carb. This week I increased carbs significantly and started carb cycling. Main issue: My sleep fell apart about 3 weeks ago. I used to get 6–7 hours. Now I have trouble falling asleep and/or wake up completely awake between 2–3 a.m. and struggle to get much more than 5 hours. What’s strange is I don’t feel tired at all—I feel wired and have tons of energy. Mentally and physically I actually feel great, and brain fog I used to have is gone. But obviously 5 hours of sleep isn't sustainable. I go to bed around 9 and wake at 4:15 to train. I also use blue-light glasses at night. Current stack: - CJC/Ipa – 400 mcg AM + PM (tried AM only, no improvement in sleep) - KLOW - Tirzepatide – 750 mcg 2x/week - SLU-PP-332 – 500 mcg 2x/day - 5-Amino-1MQ – 2 mg AM - Glutathione – 120 mg 3x/week - Urolithin A – daily - SS-31 – 5 mg/day (started today) - VIP – 200 mcg/day (started today) - IGF-1 LR3 – 100 mcg/day (started today) - Enclomiphene – 12.5 mg, 5x/week (started today) I was previously on retatrutide but switched to tirzepatide after my resting HR increased about 9 bpm. Since switching, HR is back to baseline. I’ve tried DSIP for the sleep issue without much success. Two of my worst nights were actually on it. I also have Epitalon and Pinealon that I purchased based on their potential effects on circadian rhythm/sleep, but haven't started them. I was planning to wait until after the SS-31 and IGF-1 LR3 cycles. One other piece that may be relevant is testosterone. About 4 years ago I was in the 200s. Two months ago I tested at 640 total / 15.2 free, which surprised me. Yesterday I tested again at 384 total, SHBG 24, LH 6.4 (free wasn't tested). Previous LH was 4.7. I've also been using ashwagandha, zinc, boron and tongkat ali for the last couple months.

Can SS31 help with insulin regulation in an indirect way?

Hoping someone may be able to help me here. I'm looking for someone with expertise in PEMF, bioelectromagnetics, neurophysiology, or electrical engineering who can help me understand an observation I've been making... Some background: I have a C5-C6 nerve injury that affects my right pec, tricep, and parts of my arm. Following the injury, I experienced significant weakness, atrophy, altered sensation, and loss of function in those areas. While I have regained much of my strength, some deficits remain. I still have moments where it will go "dead" at certain angles, and am still missing a good chunk of my pec. It's also strangely tied to mental triggers as well, but that's a whole other story... I use a PEMF system (P90+) along with a Vitality Wand attachment as part of my recovery plan. I also have an electric conductor/voltage detector pen that lights up when it detects an electrical field. The pen is a simple visual demonstration that the PEMF device is generating a detectable electromagnetic field around and within the body. Observation: When testing healthy individuals (my wife and other athletes I train), the detector pen will light up over most areas of the body while using the PEMF system, including the neck, arms, torso, and legs. However, on my body, there are specific regions where the pen consistently shows little to no response. The most notable areas correspond closely with my previous nerve injury distribution, including my right pec, tricep region, and portions of lat and hips. What is particularly interesting is that after using the P90+ together with the Vitality Wand, I can sometimes get a detectable response in portions of the pec that previously showed little or no response. I'm exploring whether those differences may reflect changes in tissue conductivity, nerve function, or some other electrical property. My Questions: 1. What is the detector pen actually measuring in this situation? - Electromagnetic field strength? - Voltage potential?

Looking for something to help lower my blood pressure, which typically sits around 150/80. Open to peptides or supplements.. especially anything you’ve personally had good results with.
