INTRO Happy to meet y’all!

Hey everybody! I'm 31 years old and female. As a stay-at-home mom, I've had enough of feeling down about myself. My knowledge of peppers is at the very beginning stage, so I have absolutely 0 hands-on experience. Being able to read and pick up knowledge from all of you here makes me happy. Oh, and it's been ages since I last posted on a forum lol, so this feels great! Weight has been an issue for me my whole life, and I've gone through so many attempts that didn't stick. Insulin resistance (PCOS) and lipedema are things I'm dealing with. Right now I don't have insurance, and honestly, even back when I did, getting anything approved was such a struggle. I decided it was finally time to handle this myself and figure out what suits me best.

Hey there, pfp twin! PCOS, insulin resistance and lipedema are things I’m navigating too. For 12 weeks I was on 3mg of Reta each week, and that brought about a loss of roughly 30 lbs. These days I take 2mg weekly, aiming for body recomp and to hold onto muscle (even so, 15 lbs have come off since I moved to 2mg). My routine includes weightlifting 4x per week plus zone 2 cardio 2x per week. On the whole, Reta has led to a big drop in inflammation for me. At the moment I’m exploring BPC-157 as a possible option for lipedema pain, though I’m still looking into which pep would work best for that. Wishing you all the best on your journey!
