Working on further hair-loss and regrowth. Probably started wrong but this is the full stack for 30 days now. Redlight and AHK-CU were the beginning. Monthly monitoring of Labs. How does this stack?

@LMV112233 Validated. Mine never budged either.

@eliterecomp I agree. My RHR never went back down and I’ve been on it more than a year and a half. I have a hard time believing it normalizes in other people.

🧵Retatrutide tradeoff nobody talks about: RHR never fully settles. Mine hasn't. HRV took a hit. I accepted it — the recomp results are real. But I'm not pretending it doesn't happen either. Anyone actually tracking this long term?⤵️

@runtheballplz Pretty much nailed it. That's exactly how I'd map it.

@eliterecomp Think the meta I’m seeing right now is Reta for cuts, and Tirz for cruising.

@ParrishLiz Lifespan without healthspan is just a longer decline. The compounds targeting the actual biology are already here — the research is just catching up to what people in this space have been running for years.

A recent Aging-US editorial argues that the future of public health will require combining prevention, clinical care, and therapies that target the biology of aging to extend not only lifespan, but also healthspan, resilience, and quality of life in aging populations. news-medical.net/news/20260520/…

@boanderson @getjoust New baseline. HRV settled a little, RHR never did. Just the cost of 7mg Reta and I've made peace with it. 🤷 Following @getjoust — that long-term tracking gap is real.

@eliterecomp The RHR never settling is the part the recomp wins always leave out. Respect for owning it instead of pretending it away. That "anyone tracking this long term" question is honestly why I'm building @getjoust. Did your HRV come back at all, or is it just a new baseline now?

@runtheballplz Totally valid. I watch my RHR tank every week and run it anyway. The recomp results justify it for me — but that's a personal call.

@eliterecomp I wouldn’t run Reta long term due to this.

@mjolsen74 Yep — RHR on Reta is just the tax you pay. Mine never fully settled. HRV calc differences across devices is real — I stopped comparing platforms and just trend the same device week over week. Apples to apples.

@eliterecomp I have tracked a little, HRV is complicated and calculated different with Apple vs others. There are two model/calcs apparently. Reta jacks my RHR up.

@n1after40 Ha. The chart tells the whole story. RHR is the tax Reta collects — I've paid it too. Worth it, but it's real.

@eliterecomp Guess when I started Reta? 🙂This is resting HR.

@mjolsen74 @J_Schwanee 😂 100% — all cap energy behind a username and zero real data to back it up. Classic.

@eliterecomp @J_Schwanee Ahahahahha the Reddit idiots are the worst keyboard tough guys right?

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.

@luke_xrp_589 Let's go!! 🔥that is Mr Beas!

@eliterecomp Correct. 8.6% bodyfat 199lbs lean bodymass June DEXA. still on trt and reta. maintained all my muscle. done correctly and all thats lost is fat.

11.4% body fat. 156.8 lbs lean mass. Apr DEXA. Still on Reta + TRT. The 'GLP-1 eats muscle' crowd hasn't met a dialed-in protocol. Muscle doesn't disappear when you train, stack right, and actually track the data. 🤷 My DEXA doesn't care about your theory.

@TFallon18 Ha — zone 4 in a car seat is a wild experience. 😂 Reta absolutely hits different. Tirz is the smoother on-ramp, no question. Different tools for different goals.

@eliterecomp Reta is very aggrsssive. Glucagon agonism isn’t for everyone. On 1.5mg while in a car service to a dinner meeting my whoop resistered a 14 minute activity where I was in zone 4-5 the entire time. For those just looking to optimize Tirz is certainly the smoother option.

@biotides Honestly might be true for some people. Tirz is a great tool. But the glucagon piece on Reta does things Tirz just doesn't. First love or not — the data won me over. 🤷

@eliterecomp I do think that Reta is amazing, and for most of us it’s our first GLP-1. However, we may see it as our first love. When the hindsight becomes 20/20, we may realize Tirz was the better choice.

@sonofearle Yep. 3mg Mon–Fri, minimal breaks. Still running it. Energy is consistent and it stacks well with everything else I've got going. Not planning to stop anytime soon.

@eliterecomp You’ve been running MOTS-c 3mgs M-F for 6 months straight?

MOTS-c doesn't get nearly enough attention. Mitochondrial peptide. 3mg Mon–Fri. 6 months running it alongside SS-31 and NAD+. The compounding effect across those three pathways is real — not theory, living it.... Most doctors haven't heard of it. This community is years ahead. 🤷

@JohnTheHangman1 I know. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️I just like the food noise blocking.. I’m planning to titrating down over the next month

@eliterecomp There is no reason you should be doing 7-8 mg a week 😂😂. Bro, do 2mg a week, with the discipline you have learned and your RHR should be fine

@andystravelblog 5 months. Good to know. I'm in the thick of it right now and this is exactly what I needed to see. 👀

@eliterecomp After 5 months at 6-8mg my RHR and HRV returned to normal levels and started improving actually.

@danielobvt 2x off is a lot — not an edge case, that's just Hume being Hume at 11% BF. It struggles lean. Discard and trust the DEXA. 🤷

@eliterecomp Hume was 2x my dexa scan (24% vs 11.7%). Guess I am an edge case because I now basically discard its results.

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 👇

@mjolsen74 100%. Reta isn't magic — it's an assist. Skip the gym and you're just losing weight, not recomping. Couch potato + GLP-1 = smaller couch potato. 😂

@eliterecomp This is true but without extras and good gym work it is going to eat that muscle. It’s being over stated as a muscle preserver but that’s just not true if you’re a couch potato

@_TrueVoodoo Longer. I was off for a week for A colonoscopy and didn’t have a huge bounce back.. Remember the half life here.. it takes 24-30 days to fully leave your body.

@eliterecomp It returns to normal within a week of being off it

There's no solid human data on long-term cessation. The biggest risk isn't a crash — it's losing the compounding gains silently and slowly without noticing because the decline is gradual. I use it to compound with Reta on weight management, so as long as a GLP is involved you should be ok weight wise, but lose the compounding effect.

@eliterecomp Silly question, what are the effects when you stop taking it

@J_Schwanee 100 lbs down is massive — congrats!! Loose skin is a real trade-off but I'll take that deal every single time. 💪

@eliterecomp That’s what I was curious about. I’ve lost over 100 pounds now so I have some loose skin for sure

@TheJeffAdcock @enhancedguides Yep — 100mg M–F, subQ (NAD+). Wife just started today at 50mg with plans to do 75mg in 3 days and then 100mg by day 7.

@eliterecomp @enhancedguides Run this too but not that high in nad. You doing 100mg daily m-f?
