@rorynotsorry $LLY saving lives!
It's so amazing to see medicine shifting from treating symptoms to curing disease.

Eli Lilly with the win! Now get it FDA approved guys (and lower the price)

Adults with type 2 diabetes on our investigational triple agonist saw significant A1C reductions at 40 weeks in the TRANSCEND-T2D-1 trial. Results presented today at #ADA2026 and published simultaneously in @TheLancet. Read more: go.lilly.com/xszmxh

@irvinnofficial My HRV just started recovering this past week.
I seem to be pretty stable at this dose. Doing 3mg 2x per week. 6mg total. Split dosing helped a lot.
English
@HormoneForge Yes, cardio 3x a week in the am and weight training 4x a week.
my HRV did go down but only slightly, though, it was already on a downtrend.
I’m basing everything on 30 day timeline
English
Started Reta in April at 2mg. Added 2mg every four weeks. Have been at 6mg for a while. I think it's all about the body getting used to things.
RHR went up 5-7 BPM for two months. Now back down below 60 BPM. Oh yeah and I dropped 25 lbs along the way.
Very happy with Reta.

Bros on X shilling peptides like they’re the cheat code to the matrix. “Bro just pin Reta, you’ll be shredded, vascular and fucking immortal” Me after 3 months on Reta: resting heart rate went from a chill 58 to hitting 90+ on 8mg. Thanks for the optimized heart kings. Next you’ll tell me the tachycardia is just fat burning mode because my glucagon receptors are activated.
English
@HormoneForge That’s good. At 4 mg and my rhr has gone up so I’m hoping it goes back down a bit
English
@jeremystandifor Don't have to increase the dose if you don't want to. Keep it up!
English
@HormoneForge It's crazy how different people respond to it. I have been cruising at 1.5 mg and still losing 1.5 lbs/week. I'm terrified of even 4 mg. Heart rate has gone down though, so that's good, I think.
English
Happy to report the fridge and freezer fully stocked! 🫡
Meat porn beats peptide porn 100x.

My timeline in the health and fitness circles used to be filled with ppl showing off a deep freezer chest stocked with a year supply of steaks… It’s now replaced with here is my stack of peptides with 10 different bottles displayed on the countertop… Probably doesn’t help that the prices of beef has drastically increased over the last 5 years. I suspect many people are buying less premium cuts these days and substituting it with other things like expensive athletic wear, fancy gym memberships and pricey peptides. As in… “I can’t afford filets, but I just bought a $500 bottle of Ozempic”
English
@FowardAssist I have no issues when people call me a cheater for using Reta.
If you aren't willing to cheat, do you even care?
English
These people acting like it’s cheating to take Retatrutide are crazy… I’ll literally buy you a bottle to change your life.

Being fat is a choice in 2026.
GLPs are the no effort needed option. Even TRT works great with very little effort. Add in just 2 days of moderate weight training with a GLP or TRT and 90 days later they will be unrecognisable. Add in more training days and the results are exponential.
The accessibility to no/low effort weight loss easier than ever. 10 minutes with an Amazon chat bot and you can have oral GLP1 delivered same day.
English
The body positivity movement is dead.
Get lean or get made fun of you have zero excuse now.
Glps have made it so you litteraly dont have to move a muscle and can still drop massive amounts of weight.
If this makes you upset then it sounds like you've got work to do.
English
@irvinnofficial Very interesting. Seems to be a huge variation from person to person.
Do you do cardio? I don't do any dedicated cardio, but I do sauna 30 mins 5x per week and my pulse gets up to 170 bpm.
My guess is people with trained hearts don't see the same RHR spike other do.
English
@castledmallard I found splitting the dose 2x during the week helped with all the side effects.
English
@HormoneForge It goes down eventually? Thank God lmao I hate feeling like my chest is pounding when I'm trying to go to sleep. Lol
English
@cknotty91 I was totally blown away.
I think this is an older model too. It's at the local State University. $70 per scan. Can't beat it.
English
@HormoneForge Thats insane the depth of those scans.
The information 🤯

@J_Schwanee Check the dates. The InBody scan was days before the DEXA.
I was trying to point out how meaningless anything but a DEXA scan is. Find a place to get them regularly.
English
@HormoneForge 6 point drop in just a few months is solid work!
English
The scale says I’m 22%. I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m fat, big, but not fat. Also curious how accurate these digital scales are though I have some abs starting to come through but still have a ways to go.
💯 fitcap 💯@fitcapbiohacker
If 20% of your total bodyweight is fat you are indeed fat

@HoosierKid31 Spent probably $2500 on peptides, trt, supplements and $1000 on blood work last year.
This year I'm looking at spending $500 on stuff and $3,000 on testing. Total spend about the same. Outcomes comply different.
English
Honest question:
How much money have you spent on TRT, peptides, supplements, GLP-1s, bloodwork and health optimization over the last year?
Now how much of your data have you actually tracked?
Most people spend thousands optimizing and zero time measuring.
Data changes everything.
I GOT YOU!!

@J_Schwanee @a7las1984 It's amazing how the thyroid dictates how the rest of the body feels. I think Thyroid hormone therapy was 100x more impactful than TRT. Although I wouldn't want to give up either.
English
125mcg levothyroxine and 10mcg liothyronine. I have blood work soon so I’m super curious to see how all these peptides have affected my TSH T3 T4. I’ve been too scared to drop thyroid meds because it took about a year to get shit dialed in with my dosage and different meds. Flare ups had me incredibly fatigued and sleepy all the time. Don’t wanna go back to that.

Cons of going from 280 to 230. I'm always cold Lol

Cons of reaching 230 lbs and growing: I’m always hot and sweaty.

@a7las1984 She put me on ND Thyroid. It's like 9mcg T3 and 30mcg T4. It's made from pig thyroid so it also has trace amounts of T1 and T2-not sure how critical those are but I figure it's better than lab made hormones.
English
@HormoneForge I just ordered my quarterly blood work and included T3 for this very reason 🤝
What meds did your doc put you on?
Armour?

@eliterecomp Excellent progress. Love to see trends over time. I wish I had more measurements from when I was bigger and more out of shape.
English
Blew past my goal weight this morning. 172 lbs and still recomping. 📉
Hume Body Pod scale isn't DEXA accurate — but the trends don't lie. Week over week it's been directionally spot on.
Real data beats guessing every time. Pics in thread 👇
English
@eliterecomp Do you have access to cheap DEXAs? The local university has a "body lab" where students learn to use different devices. It's like $70 for a DEXA scan. Worth looking into.
