Go on without me ...

I do think it has something to do with mitochondria, that's why I thought I would start with MotsC. Seemed like a fairly reasonable jump. I was also considering NAD+ but read some things that put my radar up. My short-term memory is not great so I can't remember at the moment but something turned me off about it. I guess I'll just keep taking the MotsC and Provigil for now. I do also take levothyroxine for thyroid and folic acid prescribed by my primary. I also ordered some liquid saffron extract, L-THEANINE Liquid and a liquid multivitamin. I figured none of those would hurt but could help. Otherwise, I'll wait till July.

Okay, I'm going to throw my two cents in. Not a doctor, just another guy on the internet. However I can relate to feeling overwhelmed and frail. GLglpguy suggested the YWCA or other groups to swim or exercise. You said you go to your sisters once a week. Once a week is not enough, at least three times a week is needed. The thing with groups is, you'll make new friends and acquaintances. You will motivate each other to keep showing up, and working towards a goal. You will also learn about each others struggles, and what works for them. That will give you a support group, even if it's only for an hour three times a week. That will help you mentally as well as physically.

Next: If you are on GLP-1's you need protein. Go to a good health food store (not walmart or a pharmacy) Pick up 5lbs of whey protein. Make a protein shake with your largest meal. Better yet with two meals. Eggs and avocado's are good protein sources, eat them. Then find a good strong multi vitamin with minerals. Ask for help picking one out. I use Twinlab daily one caps as a minimum, meet of beat what it has in it. These two things are a must, it may take 60-90 days before you notice the difference, however it will come. Take your multi with your first meal of the day.

While at the health food store, pick up the 5 supplements that every health/fitness doctor, and internet fitness influence recommends. Creatine Monohydrate, Vitamin D3 with K2, CoQ10, an Omega-3 with high EPA and DHA, and Magnesium. (magnesium glycinate before bed will give you better sleep) Don't try them for two weeks and give up. Give it 90 days. You will see and feel a difference. You also spoke of NAD+ The vitamin Niacin (B6) is better and cheaper than NAD+. Your body will turn NMN, NR, or NAD into Niacin in the body. Just skip that process and use Niacin. Niacin will cause skin flushing when you first start taking it, or when you up the dose. 500mg-1mg is where I would want to be with it.

While it sounds like I'm giving medical advice, I'm not. I'm just repeating my own personal research and what works for me. Remember, I'm just another idiot on the internet that you don't know. A Google search would give you the same information. Good luck, and don't give up.

I love advice. It helps keep me on track. I take prescription Vitamin D once a week 1.25mg , 50,000 unit. My Primary just started me on it a week ago. I have a lot of protein, grilled chicken everyday, eggs, eggs at least 5 days a week. Hate avocado. I take 1st Phorm protein. I have a friend who supplies it to me for a great price. I have creatine mono hydrate on order. Magnesium glycinate I have. I wanted to take NAD+ but didn't, I could not remember why until you said niacin and then I remembered. I cannot take niacin.
I can't have K because of my blood and heart. I have incredible friends who are on this weight loss journey with me. We all take Tirzepatide. They don't have my health issues, but we have been friends for 40 years and know everything about each other. I'm kind of weird about going into a public pool mostly because I get sick so easily and people do nasty things but my sister will let me come over as often as I want. It's mostly that I just don't have the energy after homeschooling my two youngest grandchildren.
Need to check on COq10. No knowledge but I made a note. I used to take Omega3 I'll get some more. I also started Saffron Extract and L-theanine with a liquid multivitamin that was recommended to me. Thank you so much for your 2 cents, I means a lot more than that to me.
