New here, so I figured I'd say hello — greetings from Texas! My professional roots are in medicine, and I'm constantly chasing self-improvement, mentally and physically alike.
A bit about where I've been: staying active and keeping my health a priority was always my norm. Then life happened — schooling, residency, personal matters, etc. — and I drifted from the habits I'd built so carefully. Eventually I recognized that I couldn't make the lifestyle shift back to my old ways alone. So after talking things over with my PCP and doing a lot of research, I decided to try GLP medications as a tool to help me get back on track. Jump ahead to today: I'm settling back into a good rhythm and feeling much more like the person I used to be. My perspective on life has shifted, and I've seen firsthand what peptides can do (alongside an active and healthy lifestyle, naturally!).
Earlier on, I began with Wegovy and had success on it for about 6 months. Later, my PCP recommended Zepbound (which is what I take now @ max dose). I've been on Zepbound for a little over 6 months, and I'm down roughly 100 lbs, which lands me close to where I was in my "prime." I feel and look great, and this journey (combined with my medical background) has sparked my curiosity about everything the peptide world might offer. There's valuable research waiting to be done, I believe, and in time peptides as a whole will become a valuable addition to common treatment practices.
Personally, I've found that peptides are a powerful addition to a healthy lifestyle. It's a subject I want to learn more about and get more involved with, so that I can better myself, and become more informed for my patients. I'm eager to see everyone else's experiences, and to deepen my understanding of peptides and what they have to offer.
