Hi all. For 2 years now I’ve been using Tirzepatide to shed the pounds that menopause brought on. Results have been excellent, yet summoning the drive to lift weights again is impossible for me.

This month I hit 54. Life feels like it’s at a pivot point: 25 years in academia, and with budget cuts plus really poor enrollment, I’m leaning toward switching careers—except I have no clue what the new path would be. Beyond that, the whole world feels off, and I realize plenty of other GenXers my age feel stuck too.

That’s why I’m here, hunting for solutions. The drop in inflammation from tirzepatide really pleases me, but even so:

Menopause is brutal, and a solid night of rest has escaped me for ages.

I’m aware of the tasks piling up (update the resume, tidy the basement, kick off a revolution, topple our awful government, cook something for supper) BUT FINDING THE MOTIVATION to do ANY OF IT is beyond me.

Oh, did I bring up that I take Duluxitine, the antidepressant? Deep sadness isn’t really what I feel—it’s more that setting aside my knitting, or whatever craft I’m into, to actually do stuff just doesn’t appeal. All I want is to work on my projects and imagine how to halt the dumpster fires raging across the globe.

Still, I’m here seeking tips to get healthier and maybe shift my outlook. Fair warning: my sense of humor runs dark.

Menopause has me in the exact same position. Is inflammation actually improved by the tirz? I’m thinking about making the change to tirz. I’ve also come across that bp157 pep and tb500 are worth giving a shot.

Hi, I’ve also got a 50 mg testosterone pellet placed in my hip by my gynecologist. It eases muscle soreness, so combining T with tirzepatide has made a big difference.

Other than the tirz, have you ever given any other peps a shot? Right now I’m beginning a cycle of bp157 and tb500 for my shoulder degeneration. It may sound nuts, but I’m pretty sure it’s doing something! My husband keeps shouting placebo, though soon enough we’ll find out!

Since I’m not permitted to talk about the important thing, I’ll put it this way: once I locate a trustworthy you know what, I plan to give Ghk-cu or the GLOW blend a shot, plus Mots-C for energy. All day long I’m just so damn tired.
