Hi all,
I figured I would post a quick introduction now that I am starting what I call my "Turning 50 Glow Up." This August I reach the big 50, and I have made up my mind that this is the year to get my health, recovery, and performance more locked in than they have ever been.
A little about how I got here:
The Foundation: Semaglutide was part of my routine for a bit under three years. It worked well as a tool and I dropped 40 lbs, but at some point things stalled and reversed. Cravings came back along with the food noise, and the weight started creeping back on.
The Transition: I moved over to Tirzepatide roughly three and a half months ago. The difference has been night and day!
The Results: My body has been reacting very differently since I made the change, particularly in terms of body composition. There is no food noise left at all and appetite suppression is powerful. Right now I am at 13.2 mg a week.
Lately one of my biggest shifts has been diving deep into the numbers my body generates. A CGM has let me watch my glucose levels live, and that has been huge for figuring out how I respond to various foods and training loads. I am also keeping close tabs on sleep and recovery data so I know my body is actually taking in the gym work I put out.
Alongside all that, I have developed a new appreciation for the sauna. It now plays a central role in my recovery and in keeping stress in check.
At the moment my aim is a recomp approach. I am in the gym on a regular basis, prioritizing high volume lifting, and following a protocol that brings in GLOW peptides plus CJC/Ipamorelin for repair and to hold onto muscle.
This week specifically, I reached a new low of 196 lbs and my waist measurement came down by almost an inch, and at the same time I set personal bests on the leg press and chest press. Last night I even logged a perfect 100 sleep score. It goes to show that age is only a number when the data and recovery are dialed in.
I am eager to pick up things from everyone here and to pass along what I have learned across the last three years. If you are over 45 and working on your own Glow Up, or you are in the middle of switching from Sema to Tirz, I would really like to connect.
Cheers!

So my plan is to finish what I have, then change over,
My reasoning was that stepping up from a single agonist (Sema) to a double agonist (tirz), and saving Reta for a later stage only if it became necessary (triple agonist), seemed like the logical order. On top of that, I’ve come across accounts that Reta may cause a slight increase in heart rate, which I wanted to avoid.
