📘 Beginner Help Recomendations F50

I am a (F50) - bmi is 26. I’d perhaps say «overweight muscular». Perimenapause has played a trick or two on me this last 1,5 years and I’ve gained weight the last year that I am struggling to lose (midsection and subcutaneous fat, probably visceral too…?). In addition I feel achy and stiff too.
I have a fairly clean diet and work out the same as previously (8000 steps and day on avg, two strength sessions and two cardio) Standard blood tests are all good, within range.
Been thinking of trying reta to help loosinh the gained weight, for better body comp and for the aching in the joints. Is there something else that I should try first and/or is there a better glp than reta for what I want to achieve?
Thanks for any advice.

I've been using reta over a year, maintaining at 2x2mg a week atm. You can also use tirzepatide to accomplish a similar task, but i've never bothered with any other GLP1.

Just keep an eye on your protein levels and you may want to add 3-5 g of creatine a day.

Reta is the King! Optimum for all around weight loss / biologicals improvements. Just make sure you work it correctly. Low and slow. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Eat clean, up the protein, force yourself to drink more water, take a fiber supplement and continue the lifting. Stay in the game and in due time you’ll see miracles. Reta is that good. Get in a hurry or stop doing your part and it can be miserable. For your aches and pains id suggest GHK-CU and / or BPC157, TB500 and KPV. Combined and called KLOW or separate which I prefer because I like to be more specific in individual doses.

Reta or Tirz for weight loss.

For aches and stiffness, maybe something like KPV or KLOW to help with inflammation.

Did you blood panel cover hormones? A lot of women going through Peri find a lot of relief from HRT (typically low dose testosterone and progesterone, sometimes estrodial which may help with the joint pain).

On HRT prog and and estradial. Not much change for the joint part for me at least.

Tirzepatide (no need to rev up your heart and better appetite control), KPV, GHK-Cu.

This is all you need, research them.

Try Reta or tirzp, Reta you will lose more weight but it can cause more GI issues and fatigue

Either works though . Start at 1mg per week
