Might be overkill, but that is why I was using it. Would you suggest dropping? I did question that and berberine together either way

So on these, it’s no to all. Sounds like I should prob address this lol

supplements
what digestive supps you use?
digestive enzymes?
multis?
probiotics?
psyllium husk?

But I do have to ask, WTH does psyllium husk do? That’s a new one to me….

On the Reta and GH, I tried to be real smart about it and look at the receptors I was hitting.

Reta hits GLP, GIP and GCG on its own. The GH is hitting synergistically by hitting IGF-1. And the cag is my 5th receptor activated hitting the amylin receptor, which really shuts off food noise. So a “quint agonist” if that’s a thing? It’s been amazing effective to me. I’ve also studied Reta extensively before jumping on. Digging into the trial data, while the average was 24% weight loss in 48 weeks, it was average of 17% at the 24 week mark. So it’s 59% less effective after 24 weeks. I’m on my second 24 week cycle with it after a 6 week break in between last time. I was able to lower my dose in between. This time I’m going to try an 8 week break and return to my 1mg starting dose to see if that’ll be effective again. But cycling it is absolutely the answer unless it’s doubling as diabetic control for you IMO

psyllium husk is a soluble fiber that swells in the gut and helps stool pass easier while keeping digestion smoother. it’s useful when running gh or reta since both can slow digestion a bit.

for digestive support use 1–2 caps of a broad enzyme blend with your biggest meal, a simple multi, and a probiotic with lactobacillus or bifidobacterium strains. your reta gh and cag combo works well together and cycling it 24 on and 8 off restarting at 1mg is a good plan.

This is my first attempt at a log, so hopefully this is good enough. This long cutting cycle started May 15 and running thru Dec 13. I started cutting earlier this year in March at a 500 calorie deficit and have progressed to 1000 deficit keeping my protein high.

Testosterone Cypionate – 600 mg/week

Growth Hormone (GH) – 4 IU/day, fasted AM increasing to 6 IU on Dec 13

Retatrutide – 5 mg/week (split into 2x weekly injections, running through November/December, pause planned)

500 mcg cag once weekly

Nebivolol – 2.5–5 mg daily (usually evening, helps with HR, calmness, and BP)

Telmisartan – nightly (BP support, also metabolic benefit)

Metformin – 500 mg twice daily (AM + PM, insulin sensitivity)

Berberine – 500 mg twice daily (usually with meals, synergizes with metformin)

Leucine + HMB – Leucine split pre/post meals; HMB ~3 g/day (muscle retention)

T3 (Liothyronine) – 50 mcg daily (split dosing recommended, AM + mid-day)

Winstrol – 50 mg daily (tabs ordered, running 50 days straight once they arrive from a second naps order)

Lifting at 0500 6 days a week, sun-Fri, training BJJ hard 3 days a week for cardio, 2 of those are open mats, minimum 1 hour of 6 minute live matches with 60 seconds max rest in between.

Keeping reps in the 10-15 range but to failure each set. Boot is holding up well. Body scans look good , slow a steady bf decrease and a slight lean mass increase.

I started the Reta on June 15, the GH on July 17z. And I’ll start the last 7 weeks on 50mg winny when it shows up from naps. I’m attaching a photo showing progress from may 15- Aug 15.

Lmk what else I need for an approved log

@balancenomad incredible work bro!
