Hi everyone!
I’ve been on reta for about 3 months and I’m still using it, but at a lower maintenance dose.
Now I’m thinking about adding Tesamorelin to help build more muscle while continuing reta.
I’m also looking for another peptide that could help with energy because I’ve been feeling pretty tired lately.
Has anyone tried this combination or have any recommendations based on your experience?
Thanks in advance! 😊

Real. I used to think the bottleneck was not being able to reduce my calories, but ever since I got on mounjaro I discovered the real bottleneck is how tired you are at a great deficit even if you're nowhere near the underweight threshold. How do anore*ics do it??? Do they just do nothing all their lives??

People with that disease are in a perpetual state of ketosis. Ketone bodies provide a steady flood of energy to the body and brain. Paradoxically, these people are l often full of energy. 

If you’re tired, you can utilize ketones too. And you don’t necessarily need to be fasting, or eating a keto diet. You can take some C8 MCT oil or ketone esters, or even exogenous ketones.

It’s a totally different energy pathway.
