7lb Water Rebound, Dropping Carbs & Gray Market Panic | Week 35 Check-In

Timestamps: 00:00 The 336lb Start & Finding Retatrutide 04:26 Testing Update: Freedom Diagnostics & Lab Partners 08:42 Week 35 Scale Reveal: The 7lb Post-Fast Rebound 12:08 Progress Photos: Dealing with the Water Blanket 14:52 Current Stack: Retatrutide & GHK-Cu 17:40 TRT Optimization with AlphaMD (New Discount Code!) 20:26 Protocol Changes: Adding MOTS-c 21:44 Diet Pivot: Dropping Carbs & Going Back to Keto 30:28 Gray Market News: Peptide Sciences Closing & Crypto This week was the inevitable post-fast rebound. I stepped on the scale and saw a 7 lb jump, taking me from 230.8 lbs back up to 237.8 lbs. While the body composition scale tried to tell me I gained 3 lbs of fat, the math says otherwise, this is a massive influx of restored glycogen and water weight from returning to a heavy lifting and eating schedule. To strip this "heavy blanket" of water off my midsection, I am officially yanking all carbs and going back to the high-protein, trace-carb, keto-style diet that I ran for the first few months of this journey. I'm also adding MOTS-c to the protocol and sending our very first community-funded vial off to Freedom Diagnostics for testing! Finally, I touch on some massive news in the gray market space regarding vendor closures and why learning to use crypto might be mandatory very soon.
