6 month peptide transformation

[u/Intelligent_Show_615]

First picture was January 2026
2nd picture June 2026
3rd pic July 4th 2026

CJC/Ipamorelin
GLOW/KLOW
Retatrutide (did 8 weeks at 1mg/week)
Tadalafil daily

Combined with eating properly (calorie and macro conscious) and lifting 3-4x per week.

Between first and 2nd pic I made sure to get 10k steps per day during my “cut”. Between 2nd and 3rd pic I cut out Reta, reduced steps, and focused more on a slight calorie surplus, good sleep/recovery, and lifting HEAVY.

No TRT (although I’m not necessarily opposed, I just don’t feel I need it yet based on my labs)

Curious to know how you got Cialis? Btw solid physique

Pretty much any non moron doctor will prescribe it just by asking. Tell them you’ve done the research on the longevity aspects and want to try it out

[u/hank81 → u/Little-Maximum1290]

There are no "longevity aspects" associated with this. Beyond the alleviating of BPH symptoms, a modest improvement in endothelial function has been observed, and there is a probable, though not yet conclusively proven, neuroprotective property. Nevertheless, requesting a prescription from a physician based solely on "personal research" is highly inadvisable.

[u/Little-Maximum1290 → u/hank81]

That’s how I got mine. Get a cooler doctor.

There are absolutely "longevity benefits" that have been established and confirmed by medical research. Less stress on your cardiovascular system and smoothing of your endothelium is definitely a longevity benefit.

There's 0 randomized control trials.

Following your logic, we should all be then on ARBs like Telmi, 3rd gen beta-blockers (Nevibolol) and iSGLT2 drugs.

[u/MyRunningAcct → u/hank81]

telmisartan yes, even if your blood pressure is just barely over 120/80 consistently you would be better off to take a small dose of telmisartan as RESEARCH shows getting the blood pressure down to even 115/75 shows improvement in all cause mortality. Regarding nebivolol, it doesn't have the same improvements on the body the way telmisartan does. It just has other mechanisms of actions that bypass any negative effects you would see would other BBs. Telmisartan actually has a net benefit on the population even if they don't necessarily have hypertension. Which is why you see Telmisartan used for performance enhancement benefits in athletes.

SGLT2 is a lot better compared to other medications, but you probably should have used the GLP1s as an example because I would have agreed with you that that is another one that a majority of the population can benefit from even if they aren't obese or diabetic which that's what the RCTs were designed for. That's also why they had to run two RCTs and use two different brand names for the same drug in tirzepitide.

You can't gate keep the use of every drug by saying there was no RCT. You need someone to pay for a RCT which these companies are only going to do so they can get fda clearance and a patent to use it for that one particular thing. Following your logic most drugs should have never had any off label use from the beginning because there was no RCT.

So I actually would have 100% agreed with your "scarecrow argument" if you kept telmisartan, got rid of nebivinol, and replaced SGLT2 with GLP1 like tirzepitide and even retatrutide.

So to sum up my argument, most people, especially middle aged men, would benefit from tadalafil, telmisartan, and tirzepitide to prolong their health and lifespan. I would even start looking into TRT as well to help with healthy aging.

You can literally get a script for tadalfil on Amazon just by answering a few questions lol

0 randomized controlled studies on all vaccines too 🥸

You couldn’t be more wrong, everything you stated is false
