Summary of "Methylene Blue, MOTS-c, SLU & Reta Cycle Duration? Bioglutide Dropping Soon! Primo On A Cruise?"
Summary of Key Wellness Strategies, Self-Care Techniques, and Productivity Tips:
- Steroid and Peptide Use:
- When using steroids like EQ, Primo, Mast, Deca, or Tremblone, monitor estrogen and prolactin levels carefully via blood work.
- Use antioxidants (vitamin C, royal jelly, glutathione) to mitigate oxidative stress and kidney damage from steroids like EQ.
- For gyno caused by Deca, options are to avoid Deca or undergo gynecomastia surgery.
- Subcutaneous injections can prolong steroid absorption slightly and help maintain stable blood levels.
- For TRT, splitting testosterone doses into smaller, more frequent injections (e.g., daily subq) can reduce mood swings.
- Cycling off mitochondrial support stacks (like Methylene Blue, MOD CI, SLU 3332) is based on personal health markers and goals; long-term safety data is limited.
- Methylene Blue combined with fluvoxamine can improve mood by inhibiting breakdown of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
- For fat loss stuck at a certain body fat percentage, focus first on diet, training, and cardio before adding peptides or fat burners.
- Growth hormone and peptides like AOD 9604 or HGH frag can assist fat loss once diet and training are optimized.
- Avoid mixing different compounds in the same syringe unless premixed to prevent peptide denaturation.
- Injectable compounds brewed in inappropriate carrier oils (e.g., advanced carrier oil with solvent smell) can cause severe injection pain and should be avoided.
- Using low doses of tremblone (e.g., 30 mg/week) can be effective with manageable side effects, but monitor blood pressure especially if over 50.
- For fertility protocols involving HCG and AI, maintain estrogen at the top of the reference range to preserve FSH receptor sensitivity and sperm quality.
- Peptides and Mitochondrial Support:
- Retagliptin (Reta) has been studied for up to 18-24 months at higher doses; lower doses for appetite control may be used longer but monitor health.
- MOD CI and SLU 3332 have limited human long-term data; animal studies suggest max dosing around 8 weeks.
- NAD+ IV or subcutaneous dosing can support mitochondrial function; avoid excessive dosing to prevent metabolic overdrive.
- Polyphasic sleep (multiple short rest periods) is uncommon in bodybuilding; power naps and consistent meal timing are preferred.
- GHK copper injections can improve localized muscle definition but require massage and therapy to reduce adhesions and injection pain.
- Lifestyle and Productivity Tips:
- Frequent blood work is essential to monitor health markers and adjust protocols accordingly.
- Managing mood swings may require adjusting hormone injection frequency, supplementing serotonin precursors, or using mood-enhancing compounds like Methylene Blue.
- Stress management and maintaining a clear conscience help improve sleep quality.
- Use naps strategically (e.g., afternoon power nap) to boost recovery.
- For increasing dopamine during stressful times (e.g., divorce), lifestyle changes like travel and TRT can help more than just supplements.
- Prioritize diet and training before adding fat burners or other compounds for stubborn fat loss.
- Use affiliate programs or automation to reduce workload if managing many clients.
- Enjoy life balance: parenting routines, hobbies (e.g., motorbikes), and family time are important for overall wellness.
- Miscellaneous Health Advice:
- For acne scars, peptides like BPC157, TB500, GHK copper may aid healing but severe scars often require cosmetic surgery.
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can be influenced by inflammation, sexual activity, and lifestyle; reducing inflammation and taking breaks from intercourse can help lower PSA.
- For lipid management on ketogenic diets, add cardio and supplements like citrus bergamot, amla extract, and zetia if needed.
- Avoid injecting compounds in painful carrier oils; seek quality sources.
- Maintain hydration and manage iron levels to avoid unnecessary blood donations.
