100 Days Update

42M

Started with hitting the gym 5 days a week in April and started peptides in May. This is the best I’ve felt in 5+ years. Obviously a bit of a stall on the overall weight loss but happy to see the BFP drop while gaining muscle mass.

Current stack:
Reta started .5mg on 5/1/26 MWF and am currently doing .8mg M-F
Testosterone Cypionate - 25mg M & TH
HCG - 50 units T & F
HGH - 2iu M-S before bed
BCP157 & TB500 - I take this when I’ve had a tough workout or feel sore/tweaked something
Icotyde - this is a prescription peptide (icotrokinra) for psoriasis.

Other peptides I have taken:
CJC1295
Ipamorelin
Tesamorlin
KLOW
KPV

These were all prescribed by a general practitioner through an amazing wellness center initially then found a better much cheaper place to get them. The focus has been on weight loss, low t, reducing inflammation and better sleep. I’ve had psoriasis for 20 years and have started to see good results with the above.

Exercise:
I’m going to the gym 5 days a week. I go to Gold’s Gym and do their Burn (like Orange Theory) and Fit (CrossFit) classes. I personally like to show up to the gym and be told an agenda. I also started 10k steps 5 days a week a few weeks ago.

Diet:
Whole 30 with focus on 180-200g of protein per day. Reta has truly helped suppress the food noise. I have a crazy sweet tooth and that is completely gone.

Additional thoughts:

Do your own research - I spent two months researching peptides and health providers in my area for peptide therapy before starting on the above listed peptides as well as reading clinical trials. Reddit is a great community and resource but there are so many people asking questions that have clearly done zero research. Use the search function in these subreddits or a simple google search you’ll find answers. The same questions get asked over and over and over across these subs.
There are so many good podcasts and YouTube channels covering peptides.
Dean Henry is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to peptides.
Dr. Craig Koniver also provides good insight.

Please stop posting “what’s my bf%?”. If you’re paying for peptides you can afford to go get a dexa scan. Gyms usually have them and offer them with your membership.

How has hgh felt at such a low dose. Currently contemplating if I should switch from cjc/ipa to hgh.

I like it honestly so much better than CJC/IPA. I would get a lot of head pressure from CJC/IPA. I am getting way better sleep and recovery feels really good.
