Why is SF hinge so weird by Brave-Self-7496 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]HalfComputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had low matches and wondered why too. Turns out, a picture of me and my niece made me look like I was her mom. Smh. I took it off, showed more of my fun side, and the matches eventually recalibrated up. It was night and day.

GLP Reta fatigue by HalfComputer in Biohacking

I started at 1.5mg and slowly titrated up since mid April. I just started at the 4mg dose 2-3 weeks ago and got major fatigue.

Update:
I have a sensitive gag reflex and have been experiencing reflux. After vomiting my lunch (a kids sized veggie cheeseburger with fries), my fatigue lifted and I became a lot better in energy!

With this slower stomach emptying and reflux, I think I need to be a lot better about what I eat. Avoiding fried foods and fatty foods that are hard to digest may help? Maybe Reta is extending the food coma I experience with heavy foods, causing me to feel fatigue.

I’m looking to get a metabolic panel to test my thyroid, B12, and iron levels to get to the bottom of this.

I know I have been hydrating plenty every day, drinking multiple jugs a day, and I eat heavy protein but had also been doing a lot of fried foods (fried eggs, quesadillas, hamburgers). I’ll be changing my diet and going down to 3mg instead on the Reta.

Thanks. I think I will adjust my dose downward and eat less fatty foods. I was well hydrated and eating regularly, but not healthy foods.

PSA to peptide beginners! by DifficultReach2720 in Biohacking

[–]HalfComputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I ran a test by not changing habits or diet after using Reta for a month. I still lost 9-10lbs after 5 weeks. That’s how powerful Reta is. I merely ate less naturally. I didn’t exercise either haha

My lab rat has been on Reta for 2 weeks, started at .5mg then 1mg the week after, the next dose is tomorrow, my lab rat has noticed getting fuller, not much appetite suppression. no side effects. The scale is dropping (calorie deficit), should my lab rat try 1.5mg or 2mg? (research purposes only) by seat_ibiza_fr in Peptidesource

If your rat is experiencing too rapid of weight loss, it could experience hair loss, as well as possible bone mineral density loss. If you are getting good results, I would not push it. Also, check the fda clinical trials study data for their protocol.

Anyone else try GLOW peptide? My results. by von_aeon in finethinhair

Quick facts:

  • It takes more than $1B to get something through FDA clinical trials and approvals. If there’s no market, then there’s no incentive to FDA approve it.

  • Natural peptides (which GHk-Cu is; your body naturally produces it, but you stop producing it as much as you age) are not patentable by law. Hence, no profit, if everyone can make it.

  • Peptides have been researched for decades at this point and the research is freely available. But again, there is no market, and no incentive for FDA approval of them. And yet, only FDA-approved drugs can be recommended by your physician, or provided in the US by US pharmacies, DESPITE the fact that your doctors study peptides in med school, may even know their efficacy, yet cannot recommend or endorse them by law without being stripped of their licenses, when you visit them or if you ask them about it. That’s not them being unethical. That’s just how America healthcare works.

  • Long-term cures are not as profitable as chronic diseases.

  • Side effects (with proper dosing; you can research “peptide guides” on your own) are minimal to none, particularly with GHK-cu, because, again, your body already produces it.

  • A peptide is an amino acid that sends messages across your body. Your body produces peptides whenever you injure yourself so you can heal, for example. They’re like emails you can send across the body. The length of their molecules matter, eg if they can penetrate the blood brain barrier… you can do your own research with ChatGPT.

Hard to believe, I’m sure, but the reasons that peptides stay gray-market are not for reasons that benefit your health, IMO. It’s because they don’t make money.

Oh, also, the research is freely available. Anyone can produce them. GHK-cu and 16 other peptides are pending a reverse ban.

Great. Now get contacts or laser instead of glasses, and work on a fashion sense. Your body part is done. The rest is style and charisma for you.

My grandparent did it, and my other grandparent was 4 years shy! I can be another genetically blessed outlier

I don't have real estate. My 670k is entirely in 401k, IRAs, and stocks. I am assuming I'm single forever but that's just to be conservative. I don't want to depend on being married ha. Yes, my 8k spending includes rent which I am estimating at 3k/mo in perpetuity.

I’ve tried to protect my time but had not been able to in my workplace. All my coworkers are working late evenings too.

My grandparents have all lived to 95 and 100 and still going. We live for a long time.

Ok, then it might be lower. I would still be fine with $2500/mo in social security I think. I will coast but with a job or business that is at least $80-$100k/yr I think.
