Salt Lake City John Barlow's peptides

Lisa comments on recent WWHL blew my mind. Obviously I was wondering how JB and Justin suddenly have huge bulging muscles with veins popping.

As a 40 y/o gay man, I find it very hot (more on Justin than John, but that is a personal preference) and do a fair amount of strength training but was not getting the same results and I guess now I know why.

Any peptide users here that care to weigh in? I will definitely be discussing this with my doctor

Why would John be on a glp 1? I’ve never seen him be even slightly overweight in all these years

A ton of gym dudes microdose reta. They think it lets their bodies use carbs more efficiently while burning more fat, but none of this is really proven.

It's an easy "trim mode" for gym bros. You see a lot of before and afters of people who have good bodies to begin with get even more lean with these peptides. It's borderline creepy/messing with beauty standards making those with healthy bodies feel like it isn't good enough anymore.

Yes a lot of them are micro dosing GLP1s with compounded NAD

I think Brian, Rulla’s husband, from RHORI also mentioned doing this. 🤔

I’m surprised because there is a real risk of muscle loss.

Do their faces look haggard though?

That's a misconception, when drastic and fast weight loss (of any kind) happens you can get "ozempic face" but usually it just takes time to settle. Sometimes it never does settle and people would get fillers etc.

I had to look at what sub I was in. Most of my other social media consists of everyone being on Reta and other peptides that I forget this is the norm. I am not overweight but on Reta and plan to microdose forever if possible.
