And the honest answer is… there isn’t just one path. There are two main routes people take, and which one is right for you depends on your experience level, health history, and comfort level. 1️⃣ Telehealth / Physician-guided This is often the best option for beginners because you’re working with licensed providers who review your health history and monitor your progress. You’ll typically see things like GLP-1 medications, NAD+, and certain peptides offered through licensed compounding pharmacies. If you prefer the medical oversight route, the provider I partner with is: EllieMD https://elliemd.com/coribosco 2️⃣ Research peptides This is the route many people in the biohacking and longevity space explore. The biggest thing that matters here is quality control — always look for vendors that provide: • third-party testing • batch specific COAs • sterility testing The two companies I’ve vetted and partnered with are: Solution Peptides https://solutionpeptides.net/aff/197/ ✨Which right now is having an Amazing sale check out earlier post ✨ Atomik Labz https://atomiklabz.com/aff/197/ Use code CORI15 on both sites above (or CORI25 during sales) for savings. At the end of the day, my goal is always education first so you can make the best decision for your own situation. Peptides can be powerful tools — but they work best when layered on top of good sleep, nutrition, and training. They’re tools… not magic.

Personal Experience Update: I know we already did a deep dive on Tesamorelin, so I wanted to share my personal experience with it so far, because this was a good reminder that protocols don’t always play out the same way for everyone. I started at 250mcg and tolerated it really well the first week. Since everything seemed good, I increased it to 500mcg. Within that week I noticed pretty significant water retention and the scale went up almost 8 pounds. Now logically I knew there was no possible way to gain that much fat that fast — but seeing the number jump like that definitely messes with your head a little. I decided to stick it out another week to see if my body would adjust… but the water retention didn’t change. So I dropped back down to 250mcg, which is where I’m currently at, and the water weight has already started coming back down again. It was honestly surprising how just a small dose increase made such a big difference. Some people’s bodies are just more sensitive to certain peptides, and I think I’m probably one of those people. My protocol originally had me titrating up to 1mg by June 16, but this experience reminded me that more isn’t always better. Sometimes the smartest move is listening to your body and adjusting, even if that means staying at a lower dose or moving up more slowly. Curious if anyone else here has had a similar experience with Tesamorelin — especially when increasing doses. Did your body eventually adjust or did lowering the dose help?
