Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?
Read methods.
My rule, after years of this: if it cannot survive being written down with the numbers attached, it is marketing.
Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at. Same for me with PT-141, unfortunately.
I would take the narrow conclusion. Broad ones are more interesting and less true. A fortnight in on PT-141 and it lines up.
Most of the popular protocol is borrowed from a clinical population and applied to healthy people without comment.
Baseline first.
Narrow conclusion, briefly right. Broad conclusion, interestingly wrong. I know which I keep choosing. Currently on PT-141 myself.
Loose evidence and no evidence are different, and people overcorrect in both directions.
Test one thing at a time. It feels slower and it is the only way to learn anything. A fortnight in on PT-141 and it lines up.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything? How long have you been on PT-141?
Baseline first.
Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes.
Sleep, food, or the compound? Yes.
Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet. Not on PT-141 but the pattern is familiar.
