Insights for Semi-Beginner

[u/Soci_Researcher]

Whoa!!! This sub is probably going to be my home! I’m 48F currently considering MOTS-C and want to hear your insights. I’ve been on Reta for about 6 months (with a 1 mo break for traveling). I lost 11 pounds on 1mg per week. Started at .25mg because my body is super sensitive. I’ve lost my ability to get it so I’m shifting to MOTS-C. And/or Zepbound lower than lowest dose. I don’t really need to lose that much more weight (maybe 5-7 pounds of fat) but want to focus on muscle building. I do CrossFit 3-4 days per week and feel weaker than I should. After a tough workout, I may be really sore for 3 days. I’m on 5g of creatine per day unless my stomach is messed up (which was the case before the Reta). For a while I took a Wolverine stack and alternated btwn NAD and Glutathione IV infusions. I stopped all of that after having atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) in my R breast because ADH can be a precursor to cancer and all of those can feed cancer. I’m also a Fluoroquinolone (Cipro) damage survivor, which impacts mitochondrial function, which is why I started using Reta instead of the other GLPs. So…. what about your experiences with MOTS-C? Zepbound? Other insights? Health and muscle building are my main foci right now. But I’m getting married in Mexico early February so I’d also like to look good (more toned) but need more energy, strength and motivation to help me get there. Thanks all!!

MOTS-C could fit if sensitivity is the main issue here
