Hi, I'm in the UK and just starting to look into peptides. I'm wondering whether they could be useful for problems tied to a pituitary issue and menopause. I'm in my 50s and perimenopausal. I've always eaten clean and stayed active, but for about 4yrs my energy has been completely gone, my metabolism is low, I'm losing a lot of hair, putting on weight, dealing with joint pain, and my immune system is weak. It's rough!! Has anyone else gone through something like this?
New to GLP1s, pituitary issues, and perimenopause

Haven't started yet, still reading everything I can. My hope was to land a clinical trial. Two of them are recruiting near me, and I'm still waiting on an answer. Have you begun any peptides yourself?

For your situation, peptides won't do the job. Perimenopause is something my own mother is dealing with too.
Progesterone comes first — micronised works just fine. After that, bring in estrogen via patches or gels, with weekly injections being the best option. Testosterone is the third thing you'd layer in.
Have a look at reddit.com/r/trt_females and search through the posts there.
Finding a doctor who will handle all of this for you may or may not happen. Helping people isn't really what doctors are keen on. Educating yourself and sourcing these products from the grey market will serve you far better, even though the unfortunate reality is that most people are too frightened to take that path and therefore put up with worse care as a result.

Hey! When this year began, my mom was dealing with almost the exact same thing, and that is what got me researching GLP’s. Reta has changed her life in a huge way. Her health and energy are at levels they have never reached before. Of course, the glp is only a tool, so she also follows a strict workout regimen and eats clean. Wishing you all the best! I’m confident your experience will be incredible too.

Glad you're here, Kohona. I'm also in my late 50s and get where you're coming from. Peptides have been a help for me — the following day I feel wiped out, though that fades over the weeks. My eating has improved too, and I've got more drive to stick with skincare and working out consistently.
