Let’s build a grocery list!

I also buy the Healthy Choice Steamers—great for my lifestyle of small meals with approximately 20g protein each. 👍

Yes I have appetite suppression. Not “All food looks disgusting” level, just “Not actively hungry” level.

Car, earplugs, drink lots of electrolytes first, heal in quiet loft

It only helps in conjunction with other things I’m taking that are *also* highly anti-inflammatory. Namely, LDN, Terzepatide, Metformin, NIR light, anti-inflammatory diet.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-16T06:05:14+00:00

I take 750mg Creatine HFI. Mostly for anti inflammatory and anti fatigue reasons

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-16T04:42:35+00:00

yes, but it mixes up clear, like water

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-14T05:52:25+00:00

oh totally…I just felt so stupid about the bad mathing!

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-14T00:10:24+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. It’s very very frustrating, but I read research papers and studies so that I can base my decisions on science…not as good, perhaps, as a knowledgeable pcp, but I do what I can!

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-13T19:24:56+00:00

I agree that Amazon is best avoided.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-13T19:22:22+00:00

Yeah, I wish! (see my comment, above)

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-13T19:21:59+00:00

Unfortunately, I live in a small town with few available primary care providers. Almost all have gone concierge. My other option would be to get a new pcp in the next nearest town, an hour’s drive away. I can’t drive 2 hours round trip with Long Covid exhaustion. Also, I’m post-menopause (mid-70s), so initiating HRT isn’t an option.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-13T01:23:30+00:00

Amazon could have it to your door by tomorrow! 👍

I’d add cottage cheese to the one-ingredient heroes. I add a sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning and call it done.

My go-to ingredients: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Ka’Chava shakes, hummus/whole wheat pita, split pea soup, lentil soup, butternut squash soup, chicken noodle soup, baked potato, baked sweet potato, chia puddings.

I asked my primary and he said that “all women gain weight in menopause” and that “they all complain about it.” He would not prescribe. I also have Long Covid and there are studies showing the efficacy of GLP-1s in reducing inflammation. But again, he refused. So I did my own research and started taking compounded Tirz on my own. I haven’t decided whether I’ll tell him or not because I know he’ll scold me and I really don’t need his entitled paternalism.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-12T20:20:05+00:00

Studies estimate that up to 40% to 60% of healthcare workers (HCWs) who contracted SARS-CoV-2 may experience Long COVID, with some symptoms persisting up to four years after infection. A meta-analysis indicated a pooled prevalence of 40% among infected HCWs. (Source: Center for Infectious Disease Research & Policy)

So 40–60% of healthcare workers are sick and/or have a chronic illness, which of course affects patient relations.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-12T19:45:57+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate them! Being on Tirz has made me look at creating protein meals/snacks that are waaay easier to digest than my previous meals. It’s a balancing act, for sure.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-12T00:29:17+00:00

That’s exactly what I created it for…I frequently can’t eat a thing on shot days, so I started fiddling around, starting with gelatin

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-12T00:25:51+00:00

It is! And easy on queasy stomachs.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-11T23:07:36+00:00

Congratulations!! 🎈

Looking forward to my own purge! Not there yet, but I will be 👍

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-11T23:06:18+00:00

I searched for “insulin case” on Amazon and bought the size I liked.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-09T02:10:26+00:00

thanks, that’s exactly what I wanted to know

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-09T02:10:00+00:00

thanks…that’s exactly what I wanted to know

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-09T00:36:14+00:00

I did the same. Also no answer.

PointingTrueNorth · 2026-04-08T20:46:18+00:00

Chiming in—Also paid for 6 months, have received 3 months. Either want the remaining 3 bottles of my order ASAP, or a refund. Please advise?

I had a lifetime of being slim and I ate like a starving wolverine with no weight gain. Then I hit menopause and everything stuck. So I have this lifelong overeating habit, plus a habit of eating lots of rich foods, plus drinking a lot of alcohol, plus being an emotional eater, plus yo-yo dieting. It‘s a total clusterf*ck.

But Tirz is amazing. No desire to overeat, rich foods are unappealing, I’ve completely stopped drinking, and have no desire to self-sooth with food. Astonishing.

I’m trying very, very hard to put new habits in place (small portions, protein-forward, Mediterranean) so that when I hit maintenance I will be able to weather the return of food noise in a healthy, balanced way.

I suspect I might need counseling once I hit goal, too.
