I missed my face.
My confidence.
My SPARK.
🙌 So grateful to have hit this huge weight goal last week and to still see more progress as time and therapy goes on.

💕 Love watching the 'aha!' moment when I gently sprinkle a bit of truth and the fear from bad GLP-1 press melts away.
Education over fear-mongering, always. 💋

On that GLP-1 bus for weight loss? Cool cool. But did your doc tell you about these other metabolism-boosting tricks? Probably not. 🙃 Let’s get into it:
1. Protein: Don’t go ham. Stick to about 1.5g per kg of body weight, ladies. Too much and you might as well be eating a sugar cube. Overconsumption of protein can lead to increased gluconeogenesis, where the body converts excess amino acids into glucose, potentially impacting fat burning.
2. Sun-gazing (kinda): Get those eyeballs some sunrise and sunset action. Red light = happy hormones = happy weight. Science! 🌅👀 Just don’t stare directly at the sun, hun.
3. Chill on the workouts: Your adrenals don’t need more stress in this modern world full of stressors. Mix it up with some gentle pilates, strength training, and walks. Bonus points for sunset strolls! 🚶♀️🌇
Remember, I’m not a doctor. Chat with your functional practitioner before trying anything new.

🤔 "But will you be on peptides... FOREVER?"
Let's get real about long-term wellness solutions. Before starting my peptide journey for weight loss and taming my angry thyroid, I had to make peace with something: this might be a long-term thing. And you know what? I'm totally cool with that.
Think about it - we don't question needing these things forever:
• Water (kind of important 💦)
• Vitamins & minerals (hello, modern soil quality 🌱)
• Human connection (yes, even for us introverts 😅)
• Self-care (because #boundaries)
Plus, many of us are already taking daily meds for thyroid/BP/pain/diabetes. (Thyroid meds myself included for my Hashimoto's "bestie" 🙄)
Plot twist: What if peptides could actually help reduce or eliminate some of those other medications? (with doctor's blessing, obviously)
Here's the bigger question: if a tiny poke every few days means I feel amazing and confident, my blood sugar is controlled, I have more mental clarity and energy, and my inflammation stays in check...
Why wouldn't I want that forever?
Sometimes the best things in life are worth a little stick and prick, imo. 💉✨
What are your thoughts on taking a supplement, medication, or peptide long-term?

My RS will be starting BPC-157 this morning (once the vial is done reconstituting 😉) and I look forward to sharing my findings with you here!
RS has intense flare-ups of chondromalacia patella (aka "theater knees"), and occasionally the pain is so intense that RS has major difficulty with stairs.
BPC-157 is for researchers looking for support with and potential regeneration of tissues, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It may also support the gut and gastrointestinal system.
It is anti-inflammatory and commonly utilized for subjects with chronic pain.

Welllp…looks like BPC-157 isn’t the right peptide (currently) for my own research. 😭
I knew going in that the SSRI my RS is on for intense OCD (🎤yeah, you know me🎶) could pose an issue…and just three days in I quickly found out it in fact WAS an issue.
BPC-157, a peptide commonly researched for powerful pain, joints, and gut recovery, also has some serotonigenic and dopaminergenic properties….
🧠 And it’s strongly advised in the research community to use extreme caution when combining this peptide with antidepressants, or to avoid it entirely.
(Those research petri dishes could end up struggling with serotonin syndrome if they play their cards wrong.) 🧫🧫🧫
Within 24 hours my subject noticed mild irritability, headaches, and excess tinkle time. 🧻
72 hours in, these had increased. Exactly the potential issues I was being vigilantly observant of. 👀
So now I have a collection of bulk BPC to store in our apocalypse cabinet to trade with other desert dwellers in exchange for freeze dried decaffeinated coffee crystals. 😬☕️
Next on the to-pep list is TB-500, which does not contain serotonigenic and dopaminergenic properties, though still is popular among researchers looking for pain relief, tissue regen, and joint support for their test subjects. 🔬

Please pardon my intermittent posting the last few weeks, y'all. My brother has been in and out of the hospital with pancreatitis. As you can imagine, keeping family updated on his progress combined with the stress and worry has taken its toll with energy and time. ❤️ The good news is he is home now and on the mend!

CEREBROLYSIN Research Applications:
-Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
-Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
-Stroke, particularly acute ischemic stroke
-Cognitive enhancement and memory improvement
-Neuroprotection and neurogenesis
What is Cerebrolysin?
Cerebrolysin® is a mixture of peptides and amino acids derived from porcine central nervous system tissue. It is known for its potential neuroprotective and neurotrophic properties. Clinical trials have studied Cerebrolysin for its effects on various neurological conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, cerebral impairment and traumatic brain injuries. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32808294/

Let's talk a bit more about Cerebrolysin. This gem has shown promise in research subjects by improving conditions like stroke, neurodegeneration, and traumatic brain injury.
It works its magic by enhancing neurogenesis and reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
"In 2012, a meta-analysis found that Cerebrolysin improves the symptoms of dementia with benefits lasting up to several months after treatment ceased. Cerebrolysin dramatically improves cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease and the effects of administering the peptide for 12 weeks persists for three months." (1)
Cerebrolysin may help with Parkinson’s Disease by reducing a harmful substance called amyloid-beta. It also protects brain cells that produce dopamine and that helps neurons survive and regenerate, which is important for controlling movement. (1)
Is it safe with an SSRI? Most researchers say yes, though some say it could be risky (2,3).
Case study: A female patient with a stroke, already on a combination of medications including an SSRI, was treated with Cerebrolysin and a variety of other therapies. Within a month, significant improvements were noted, including the resolution of bulbar palsy, vertigo, and eyelid drooping. Over the year, the patient regained the ability to walk independently, drive, and swim, with no stroke recurrence and excellent functional recovery. (3)

What is Cerebrolysin? It is a non-lipid mixture of free L-amino acids (purified via enzymatic proteolysis from brains of young pigs) and neuropeptides of low molecular weight. L-amino acids represent 80% of Cerebrolysin while the remaining 20% consists of…
🤯 The way I hollered at my huz-B when I stepped on the scale this morning!!
This win came after a 2-week stall (of 29 lb down) that really tested my patience as I waited for that pesky pound to finally eff off, LOL
5 months in on GLP-1 + other supportive peptides =
🤎 30 lb down
🤎 reversed prediabetes
🤎 thyroid antibodies reducing over time
🤎 better mood and motivation
🤎 food addiction GONE
My personal template:
✔️ Microdosing and mini dosing to avoid side effects
✔️ Anti-inflammatory, primal diet
✔️ Not restricting calories - eating intuitively
✔️ Monitoring my thyroid levels
✔️ Prioritizing sleep
✔️ Gentle movement
✔️ Supportive supplements
✔️ Sunshine
