🧬 It’s been a while, so let’s do a little check-in!

A lot has changed over the last few months, and I know we have quite a few new members, so here’s where I’m currently at 👇

🎯 Current Goals

• Build lean muscle

• Support healthy aging & longevity

• Improve mitochondrial health & energy

• Maintain results without constantly chasing a lower number on the scale

📊 Current Stats• Weight: ~120-122 lbs

• Originally set a goal of 127 lbs and surpassed it

• Focused on recomposition, not weight loss

• Recently gained lean muscle while lowering body fat

• Visceral fat remains very low at 1

• Learning to pay more attention to body composition than scale weight

🧬 Current Protocol

• Tapering off Reta after reaching goal weight

• Ipamorelin: finishing current cycle at 150mcg

• BPC-157: 250mcg daily

• KPV: 250mcg daily

• B12 support

⚡ Upcoming Protocol

• SS-31

• MOTS-C

• Resume NAD+ after break

• Focus heavily on mitochondrial support, recovery, energy, and metabolic efficiency

🍽️ Current Nutrition• ~2,000 calories daily

• 120g+ protein daily

• 100-150oz water daily

• Electrolytes daily

• Prioritizing whole foods and protein first

🏋️‍♀️ Current Activity

• 10,000-15,000 steps daily

• Weight training 5-6x per week

• Sauna 6x per week for 30 minutes

• Focusing on consistency over perfection

💡 Biggest thing I’ve learned recently:

As I’ve tapered off Retatrutide, I’ve definitely noticed my appetite increasing. Thankfully, I’ve spent the last several months building a strong foundation with protein intake, strength training, hydration, electrolytes, and daily movement. That foundation has made a huge difference.

I can absolutely see how people can rebound after coming off appetite-supporting protocols if those habits aren’t already in place. Finding the lowest effective dose was also incredibly important for me. Since I was using Retatrutide primarily for inflammation support rather than weight loss, my dose stayed very low, which I believe has made the transition easier.

I also learned a lot during a recent bout of digestive issues. I temporarily removed several supplements and peptides while troubleshooting. After slowly reintroducing things, Ipamorelin, KPV, BPC-157, NAD+, and B12 didn’t appear to cause any problems. Since I was already near the end of my Tesamorelin cycle, I chose not to add it back in.

Going forward, my focus is shifting toward mitochondrial health, energy production, and recovery. Even while eating enough calories and staying on top of hydration and electrolytes, I still occasionally hit that afternoon energy crash. I’m excited to see how SS-31 and MOTS-C support those goals.

Now I want to hear from YOU 👇
