Hi everyone,

New member here. I’m a 40-year-old looking to make a serious lifestyle reset after navigating through a rough patch of burnout and depression over the last while.

During that period, I put on about 25 lbs of unwanted fat and saw my overall physical condition take a hit. I’m actively getting back into shape now, with a strong focus on building a compact home gym in my basement and pushing my cycling performance to reach 3.0+ W/kg.

On top of the physical aspect, I've been dealing with the typical sexual side effects/libido issues that come with antidepressants, which is something I'm actively working to resolve.

I joined to learn from the collective experience here, optimize my recovery, and research the right protocol and supplement/peptidic options to help me reach my body composition and performance goals safely.
