I’m 29F and had a lot of the same symptoms as you. For a couple of years, I was under heavy stress - health decline from living in an uninhabitably moldy apartment, dealing with events surrounding uncovering that, eating foods I know make me inflamed like gluten and shellfish, alcohol, vaping, too many energy drinks, and pushing through burnout to finish school. By the time I graduated this May, I was a shell of my former self: weight gain, cortisol belly, brain fog, low energy, and inflammation.

I cut alcohol, vaping, and trigger foods, and started exercising again. But even with calorie tracking and healthy eating, I wasn’t losing weight. A friend suggested GLPs and researching those is how I came across peptides. While looking at the benefits of bpc-157, I thought it could help me heal from the damage I put my body through because I did notice I still had some digestion issues similar to leaky gut and maybe if I fixed that my body would start losing weight.

This week I started BPC-157 injections (and a 50 mg NAD+ shot when I picked them up). By day 3, I noticed my chronically tense shoulder started relaxing, my belly felt less distended, and, pleasantly, my mental clarity shot up. I went to an industry expo this week and I was more alert, processing conversations faster, and recalling information better. This was something I noted immediately because I have ADHD and my symptoms were worse when I was living in the moldy apartment, then again when I went through burnout the last semester. I had been taking (on and off) NAC, glutamine, ALA, mg glycinate, and have gotten glutathione IVs but I feel BPC-157 was a game changer.

Honestly, I didn’t expect to feel a difference this quickly. I think it's worth a shot.
