@seadracos thank you for the link

@damic Thanks for the reminder. I was down to 176 from 190+ from strict carnivore+ketovore (only carb source was avocado and nothing else) without any meds, but went back to 180-186lbs by July, right after celebrating my husband and my birthday. That birthday celebration let the flood gate open once I let in the carbs. Food noise became louder compared to before I started carnivore. I was still eating healhty 95% of the time, but was overconsuming the "healthy whole foods".

I know GLP1s is a tool, and I am putting in the work. I am working out (strength training with Caroline Girvan 3x a week), and walking 8k-10K steps a day, and mostly standing and moving at work and still eating healthy. But, since starting reta in September. I finally am able to stop eating too much. My body finally got the memo to stop eating until 500% satiety. My weight loss since starting reta in Sept is slow, but I am just glad it is finally trending down week by week and not going back up. As for the other peptides... I am only adding the mithochondrial stack with 1-2 weeks interval between each peptide... the KLOW stack is for my husband.

@SkepticJen Thank you for the reminder to slow it down.
I am on my 3rd month of reta, and wanted to add the mitochondrial stack (SS31, and Mots-c) to address fatigue and maybe help Reta push my body to become more insulin sensitive. My fasting blood sugar is still in the upper 90's - low 100's (I check a few times a week). Should I wait a couple more months to start the mitochondrial stack?
I am on my 3rd week of 4mg Reta and I don't want to titrate up yet as I am still experiencing strong apetite suppresion-- I just wish fasting blood sugar would go down already. I will be getting basic blood work this week before I officially start SS31, to see if reta has helped with any biomarkers and to have another baseline for my new protocol.

The KPV was not planned but the pain on the finger joints in my R hand was flaring up since last week, so since I had KPV on hand, I decided to try it. GHK-Cu is also for added anti-inflammatory benefit and, to help me not lose too much hair and to maintain skin integrity as I lose weight... I may or may not continue with it if it stings so bad (will start it end of November or 1st week of December).

The KLOW (individual vial, not the blend) is for my husband. He has been suffering from chronic pain, and taking that 7OH-kratom mess. I want him off of the 7OH, hence we are trying the KLOW stack (individual peptides). I was just thinking that since some people take the blended KLOW stack (all peptides at once), it will be safe to introduce one peptide with one week interval as it will already tell us if he is reacting negatively to a certain peptide. He is not on any other peptide, but do I need to space it out some more? (I ordered the superpower blood work + other blood test not covered in the superpower for him last week before starting him with KPV)

@Randy I would love to learn how to mix 2-4 peptides in one vial or pen. I bought KPV, TB500, BPC153, and GHK-CU separately instead of the blended klow stack for my husband. But injecting 4 separate times a day could probably get old quick.

I want to make it more seemless for him without going the blended route-- I want make sure he does not react to any of the peptide, and if he does, we want to know which one, also we want to control dosage of each peptide instead of being tied down to the percentage of each in the KLOW blend.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am a newbie from NC.
Height: 5'2 (my driver's license, but I have shrunk to 5'1 at age 49)
Starting weight: 193lbs November 2025, down to 176 in June 2026 through Ketovore diet and 3-4 days strength training, and daily walking. I am already eating well, and working out, but I only lost a few lbs, meanwhile my husband who is on the same diet and same work out (lifting lighter weights than I do) lost 25 lbs. (Maybe I am stressing too much in making us both healthy. I prep all the food and force him to work out every other day)

I am perimenopausal, and my latest lab works says I am pre-diabetic, highly insulin resistant, have a high cortisol level, and high inflammation markers, and with other biomarkers also out of whack.

Since nothing is working, I have decided to try GLPs, but it is so cost prohibitive, even going through Ro and Noom is still expensive. So, I dug around some more and bought my first Reta in September from a reseller who has a high rating on trustpilot. Product was great, but price was still high. Some more digging led me to this website.

I bought my second batch of Reta from a vendor I found here and also bought SS31, Mots-C, GHK-cu, KPV, BP153, TB-500 from 2 other vendors which I also found here.

I added KPV to reta last Friday to address chronic inflammation, will add SS31 next week, and then add Mots-C week after, and GHK-cu the following week.

I also started my husband on KPV last Friday, and then add BPC153 next week, then TB-500 week after, then GHK-Cu the following week. I know I could get him started on the KLOW stack, but I wanted to see if he has any reaction to any of the individual peptides, and I also want to have complete freedom with dosing however his body responds. He has joint pains: shoulder and knees, as well as restless leg syndrome.

Thank you to the admin and to all the individuals whose combined knowledge and first hand experiences make this website/forum AMAZING!
