Hello from the Midwest!

Ive been on semaglutide for over a year since getting a PMOS (PCOS) and pre-diabetes diagnosis. I initially was strict with my no sugar, low carb policies and lost 35lbs. Since I've been less strict, I've had a long and hard plateau of staying at the same weight for about 6 months now, but have seen my waist size slowly decrease, indicating I am potentially recomping? I am interested in switching from sema -> reta, but would like to nail down some lifestyle things (like diet and activity levels) before making the jump. Or maybe the switch will make the lifestyle changes easier to make? Who knows what I will end up doing.

I started a cycle of KLOW two weeks ago, and so far I have noticed an increase in sleep quality and in daytime energy. I used to wake up 3-4x a night, and am now down to 1-2 and finding it much easier to get back to sleep. It also takes longer for my shoulders to get sore working at a desk. I am hopeful that the copper will help with my androgenic alopecia from the PMOS and help even my skin texture from years of acne scaring.

Beyond a glp-1 and KLOW, I am interested in sleep improving peptides like DISP to further improve my sleep. I currently need 8-11 hours in bed to feel rested and energetic the next day. (Sleep study is incoming) This is very annoying and happens even when I follow good sleep hygene. I am excited to read up on how my sleep quality can be improved via peps.

I also suspect I have some sort of hypermobility condition, and I exhibit many POTS symptoms. Neither of these have been professionally diagnosed, but I will be on the lookout for info on how peps can interact with these conditions.

I am here to learn about how peps interact with eachother and how they may interact with my personal biology. I am excited to learn what this community has to offer, and have already spent a couple hours scrolling threads. My favorite piece of info i've learned so far is that people with PMOS should not take growth factor increasing peps, as they will worsen PMOS symptoms.

Anyways, Happy Tuesday! Looking forward to getting to know this community!
