I started my peptide journey in terrible health on June 1, 2025. And in just 5 months here’s what’s changed: I am a 59 year old male. - 💪 Hormones Restored: Testosterone went from 123 → 1,484. - ⚖️ Weight Lost: 260 lbs → 222 lbs (down 38 lbs: 32 fat, 5 muscle). - 📏 Waist Trimmed: 42 in → 37 in (5 inches gone). - ❤️ Blood Sugar Reversed: A1C from 6.3 (pre-diabetic) → 5.4 (normal). - 💓 Blood Pressure Normalized: 148/89 → 120/80. - 🩺 Liver Health Restored: AST 56 → 33, ALT 83 → 39. I have specific year-end goals I’m trying to meet and this is a life long journey, but I’ve made good progress so far. Main goal now is to lose 22 lbs and build muscle.

Okay I know there are dosing instructions for LIPO-C etc and I know people have had great experiences. Do you use the same type of needles as for tirz? Or do I need to buy different ones? Also do you do it the same day or different? And last but not least do you put it in the area you need to lose or is it like tirz and you inject in abdomen or thigh or behind arm? Again I appreciate any insight just want to make sure I am doing this correctly.

When people talk about peptides, the focus is usually on dosing, half-lives, or stacking. But one of the biggest amplifiers—or limiters—of results is something far simpler: sleep. Here’s why sleep matters so much when running peptide protocols: - Growth hormone release peaks during deep sleep 💤GH secretagogues (CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, etc.) are designed to boost natural pulses, but if deep sleep is cut short, you’re stacking on top of a weak signal. - Repair & recovery happen overnight 🦴Peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 are all about repair. Without quality sleep, the body doesn’t shift into the full regenerative state it’s designed to support. - Immune regulation needs circadian rhythm 🌙Compounds like Thymosin Alpha 1 align with immune cycles, which are heavily tied to sleep quality and timing. - Metabolic peptides perform differently under sleep debt ⚖️GLP-1 agonists like Semaglutide may help regulate appetite, but poor sleep still throws hunger hormones (ghrelin/leptin) out of balance. 👉 The takeaway: Peptides can amplify a signal, but sleep provides the foundation. Without restoring the circadian rhythm, the stack may only take you halfway. This is also why tracking protocols alongside lifestyle factors (like sleep quality, fasting windows, or stress) is so important. Tools like Stack Tracker make it easier to see whether your protocol is fighting against—or working with—your sleep. 💬 Question for the group: Have you noticed peptides working better (or worse) depending on how well you’ve been sleeping? What changed for you?

Doesn’t look like the page on Lipo C is working. Does anyone have the recommended dosages
