INTRO Hello 👋🌴🌞

[laansasa]

Hi all!

I've just joined, though for a while now I've been quietly reading through other forums in search of information.

My upbringing was partly holistic (my mom embraced all things natural — pescatarian and macrobiotic eating, iridology, shiatsu, accupuncture, ayurveda, herbalism, etc. Whatever you can name, she was doing it during the 80s, a time when people thought she was odd). My dad couldn't have been more different LOL.

Peptides crossed my path not long sgo, and after that I fell down the rabbithole, because at 46 I'm dealing with a lot of small problems plus a few bigger ones (thyroid nodule, weight gain, poor vision, hair loss, a mild nail fungus from a salon, terrible insomnia, mild scalp psoriasis, and others I can't even think of now).

Not long ago I started DSIP, AOD, & CJC, with the hope of easing the issues that bother me most (a bit of stubborn weight and sleep).

I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here and to sharing how things go, though it's too soon to tell for now.

Suggestions welcome.

Cheers from sunny SoCal.

Hey everyone, I'm only at the beginning of looking into anything that could support my eyesight. I realize there's no way to restore it, but at the very least I need to hold on to what's left. Wishing you all the best with your own path

 

[laansasa]

Thanks. Regarding eyesight, I came across epitalon combined with TB500. I'm researching it too, because my vision has been awful ever since I was in 1st grade. I had lasik done in 2013, yet as I get older it isn't improving at all.

How has your journey on peps been so far?

Hey there, welcome! I'm also quite new, and things have been going well so far. DSIP made a huge difference for my sleep. It isn't a sedative, but it helps fix a messed-up circadian rhythm like the one I have. CJC and AOD have helped too. I'm skinny fat and had 12 lbs. to shed that were incredibly stubborn. At the stage I was at, exercise and diet barely did anything - I can't diet or do intermittent fasting any more than I already am. I'm also running a parasite cleanse and bumped my protein up to the recommended 1g per lb. of body weight, and that's when results started showing. I dropped 4 of those 12 - which feels unbelievable. I have reta, but even a microdose freaks me out and I may not need it, so I'm keeping it as a last resort in case I microdose later.

I just began KPV, Kisspeptin, and Mots-C. From day 1 I've felt energized throughout the day and winding down by bedtime, so I'm really pleased.

I gave intranasal epitalon a try at 1mg, but it was way too strong! Instead of helping my sleep like I expected, it caused insomnia, so I'll hold off and maybe adjust to 200mcg earlier in the afternoon (?).

I'm waiting on a few more peps to address my countless little problems, but I'll hold off until my current cycles are done.

What about you? How's your peptide journey going?

What a great batch! I've been wondering about Ipa & Tesa — how are they working out for you?

I think tesa is doing its job — the fat around my midsection is going away. That said, I'm also training intensely, running, and keeping my calories low at the same time, so pinning down exactly what's responsible isn't straightforward. With IPA, I put on a significant amount of water weight fast (14lbs within 2 weeks), though once I reduced sodium further, it dropped off. As for my muscles, they've been growing at a rapid pace.

That's great to hear. I was considering throwing Ipa into the mix, but if it brings water weight along, maybe I'll pass on that pep!

That's definitely true for us!
