Ok it’s the new year progress check. I figured at the start of the new year I’d pull some before and after data for my subject. In June they started Tirzepatide and a new workout routine. A few weeks later NAD and Semorelin and how was added for support. I’m also adding what I’m thinking about next. I’ve seen people asking about BPC/KLOW/etc….. so here’s the protocol I’m considering for anyone interested…
So here’s how things have gone:
THE BEFORE: May 2025 Baseline (238 lbs)
- Weight: 238 lbs | BMI: 32.8 (Class I Obese)
- Body Fat: 28.3% | Visceral Fat: 5 (high risk)
- Muscle Mass: 69.5% of body weight (166.8/238 lbs baseline-adjusted)
- Sleep: 5h49 nightly (chronic deprivation)
- Activity: 10.8k casual steps, zero structured exercise
TODAY: Jan 2026 (194 lbs)
- Weight: 194 lbs (−44 lbs, −18.5%)
- BMI: 26.9 (healthy overweight)
- Body Fat: 20.3% (−8 points, -28%)
- Visceral Fat: 3.5 (−30%)
- Muscle Mass: 76.5% of body weight (149.2/194 lbs)
- Sleep: 7h11 nightly (+1h22, 53% nights >7h)
- Activity: 8.4k steps + weights/cycling
- Heart Rate: Awake 72bpm (−9), asleep 62bpm (−9)
- Metabolic Age: 51 (−6 years reset!)
Conditions:
RESEARCH PROTOCOL
Zepbound 10mg weekly (weight/fat loss engine)
Sermorelin 30u nightly (GH restoration)
-NAD+ 50u daily → oral transition soon (mito/energy)
Magnesium glycinate 400mg, CoQ10+Shilajit, boswellia
WHAT IS NEXT
The subject experience several knee injuries in 30s and 40. Has a meniscectomy 3-4 years ago and is developing osteoarthritis. Has developed pain and weakness in the knee. Two doctor consults both questioned the surgery. Only offered recourse is cortisone shots for a few years followed by knee replacement.
A few weeks ago started KLOW blend and have already seen huge gains in range of motion and stability. Looking to improve even further and now considering additional study.
Daily plan
