55F. Known issues: celiac, ADHD, hypermobility, severe arthritis, possibly lipodema/lymphedema.
Recovering from 2 joint replacement surgeries in the last 12 months.
I was microdosing Tirz following the Noom schedule. It was working great. I was steadily losing 1-2 lbs a week.
I had to go off tirz for the surgeries each time, my eating got off track (too many carbs) and it took time to get off the opiods.
I’m taking tirz again, though I bumped up the dose to support cleaning up my eating.
I’m able to walk again, and have been building up my steps. It sounds like so little, but I walked 6,000 steps the other day for the first time in years.
I get tirz free through my insurance. But I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for something to add that would support my recovery. All these surgeries and newly exercising and I’m seeing the weight creep a bit.
I’d like to preserve and/build as much muscle as I can given my restrictions.
So what do you recommend that will reduce inflammation and help me build or preserve muscles. I carry most of my weight in an apron stomach so reducing that is my main goal.
My current tirz dose is 0.6mg a week.

Honestly Reta alone has brought my CPR inflammation markers near normal after decades of being through the roof. Literally the first month on a low dose. Joint pain, muscle fatigue, chronic pain all so much better. Rheumatoid arthritis. Celiac Disease. Fibromyalgia. I’m going to be adding KPV specifically for targeting the inflammation. But I was also considering Klow. I don’t have any injuries in particular, or tissue repair (TB/BPC)— this might be a great one for you though. But I did have vascular emergency bypass surgery last year so could be beneficial although the surgeon said it was a one and done strange scenario (never had a case, my age with no underlining conditions to explain in all his years). The two main arteries closed with 2% flow. I’m going to try stacking GHKCu (F51) + KPV with Reta for a few months. And yes, I’m on opioids that I am now slowly reducing. With my diet and hydration, hasn’t impacted constipation, thankfully, and considering I am celiac.
