Tales from a Midlife Mutant Ninja

[RootBear]

Hey everyone,
I’m 45 years old and have been using peptides for about a year now. I recently started TRT (or “TRT-ish”) about 8 weeks ago and am still figuring things out. My main goal is simple — I just want to get back to feeling normal again. Energy, mood, libido, focus, drive — the whole package.


I’ve been reading a lot here about getting “dialed in,” and that’s exactly what I aim for. Excited to learn from the experience and wisdom in this community, and hopefully contribute once I have everything running smoothly.

Cheers @RootBear Welcome to Meso!

What peptides have you been using over the last year? Have you got any blood tests since starting your TRT-ish adventure?

Right on for taking steps to help yourself feel better.

What things have you done to achieve this

Welcome to meso.

What were your labs like before starting and when do you go back for new ones?

I started with semaglutide, then moved to tirzepatide, BPC-157/TB-500, CJC-1295, and ipamorelin. I initially had bloodwork done by an online clinic before discovering these forums, but I still need to do some follow-up.

I went through an online clinic, and they only did a total test and LH, along with a few others, but no free test or SHBG. My total test was 452 ng/dL and LH was 2. I was planning on going back for bloodwork at 12 weeks.
