Some of my clients on Reta (and Tirz) are bothering with erectile disfunction issues.
Does someone has anything related ?

Hm i think it's the first time i come across something like that, although I've read many posts about reduced libido and desire for sex, i don't remember anyone mentioning ED.
Are your clients on gear in general? Because if we talk about natties and they use glps to lose weight, meaning they're in a calorie deficit, then it makes sense as their hormones would dip down.
But for enhanced guys i guess it's kinda more unusual to happen.

Very interesting indeed.
Also agree with the above post about fat intake being reduced on GLP ultimately reducing sex drive. This is a known thing and whenever I am on a bulk, sex drive increases...cut=decrease.

Could def be part of it. Too little fat intake interferes with synthesis of a bunch of sex/libido related hormones, and prevents absorption of minerals and vitamins.

The only time I ever had libido issues was when I was natural & cut down to 62kgs and consumed almost no fat for a few weeks. 1 high fat day fixed it immediately.

Yea, mainly impact on libido is from GLP direct effects on the parts of the brain related to appetite and addiction.
A turning point in addiction psychiatry?
GLP-1 drugs go far beyond weight loss and show a surprising ability to tame cravings for everything from alcohol to gambling. Addiction scholar Carolina Haass-Koffler offers insight on how and why these drugs work and their potential for revolutionizing addiction treatment.

Honestly lost my libido when I started reta 8 months ago.
Never cared, less distractions (as corny as it sounds.)
I assumed it's because your body is put into a survival state and loses the libido loses priority when in a deficit, that's just my theory though

Reta has reduced my Labido personally, but it has not cause me ED
I know this cause if I really focus, I can goon using my imagination and climax, that being said I dont think it is a ED problem, rather it is a labido problem which can lead to future ED if it get really bad.
If your clients are natural, GLP-1's like reta can also lower IGF1 from cutting too fast. Tho this feeling is temporary. If your taking high does of GLP-1 and your 2 months in, that is when people usually find there labido dropping, most people report it start coming back after 4-5ish months.

It did for me at first, even on TRT. No matter what/however many exogenous hormones you take, your body does not want you to reproduce if you are lacking nutrients and food
This is a subject I've researched extensively, and I'll save you the wall of text but human's are extremely sensitive to caloric deficits especially in terms of sex drive and erectile function (something with leptin and the hypothalamus signaling)...even more so the leaner you are. If you are lower body fat carbohydrates become far more important.
I have been on Reta for 2 months and some weeks and my weight loss was extreme, and I noticed a non-existent libido and no erectile function (was also super cold all the time and lightheaded).
The last couple of weeks I have added in more, fattier meats/foods and made a conscious effort to eat more. I am still losing weight but now sleep way better and my libido has skyrocketed. I feel at 60%-70% but I am still shy of my weight loss goal, so it is something I have to deal with.
I am convinced a lot of 'side effects' on GLP1s are coming from the caloric deficits (combine this with a lack of proper nutrition/micronutrient intake), people really underestimate how unnatural it is to lose weight & the effects a caloric deficit has, your body is made up of what you eat. It is something you need to trade off for the time being. I suffer from pretty bad anhedonia/low life drive & energy when cutting weight, your body thinks it is dying off.

Sounds like Reta's got some people feeling, well, less frisky, huh? I can totally see how dropping weight super fast can mess with things downstairs, especially if you're not packing in enough fats . Like, your body's basically saying, "Whoa, hold up, gotta survive first, then we'll think about the fun stuff." Maybe try slamming some avocados or something? Just a thought!

Would agree except OP says it's his clients doing the complaining though. I figure he had them on glps for a cut. I feel like by the time you're paying a bb coach you probably are capable of following any diet he gives you.

That's a profoundly narrow minded generalisation. OP never claimed his clients are morbidly obese losers that "need" appetite suppressors to stop stuffing their face with pizza. We are in an enhanced bodybuilding forum not a facebook weight loss group.

I wonder if this is also dose dependant? i.e. "bulk" dose (1mg) for improved insuline sensitivity vs higher doses for appetite suppression
That doesn't change the fact 95% of people here f.att and look like they dont even lift.
WTF is up with this stupid censorship here. "Post awaiting moderation"
