Hey everyone! I’m a 45-year-old dude who’s been pumping iron since dial-up internet was a thing. I’ve eaten clean, lifted heavy, and done my best to stay on the gain train—but insulin resistance snuck in like a ninja and slowly turned me into a swole Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
Enter semaglutide—my midlife power-up. Over the past seven months, I’ve dropped 40 lbs while keeping (maybe even adding) muscle. I also started jiu-jitsu recently and love it so much that I did my first cartwheel ever. It was majestic, I'm sure, but I was so dizzy, who knows?
But wait—there’s more! Semaglutide hasn’t just helped with weight. It turned down the volume on my spending addiction, vaporized my cannabis habit (I live in a legal state btw), and gave me back some good ol’ 1980s-style discipline. Like blowing into the NES cartridge of my brain and suddenly everything works perfectly.
I also dabble in mycology. Yeah, I’m that guy who's excited about a laminar flow hood, if you know what that is. I shudder when I see people mixing in open air on TikTok as if they’re summoning mold demons. Aseptic technique isn’t just important—it’s the difference between Mr. Miyagi and Johnny sweeping the leg.
These days, I’m less “carpe diem” and more “optimize for future me.” Less Ferris Bueller, more Doc Brown.
If anyone has questions about these topics, I'm more than happy to help if I can.
