Introducing Friends/Family to Peptides

[Quailfeather]

Half my friends are so risk averse they'd barely consider ADHD meds, and the others have no interest/problems that need fixing. Still trying to convince my family of basic facts concerning strength training and exercise - definitely not graduating to peptides just yet! but I'd be open to talking about my experiences to people who are already kinda interested (eg the social media hype types)

Nope, nope, and nope. A close buddy has bariatric surgery before I got going. He's pretty much fucked up for the foreseeable future. I've lost 60 lbs. and nobody will say shit, or notice. Seems like everyone are into themselves so why break them out of their spells. Wife needs what I'm doing but doesn't go for needles. So I do this silently solo.

I definitely didn’t mean to imply that I go around soliciting unprovoked information by any means- or that I talk about it at random for no reason- however I will certainly join in on a conversation if the subject arises, especially if I’m hearing errant or incorrect information.

As mentioned my kids know, my parents are long gone. We decided not to tell our friends, and when they asked how we're losing weight, low carb diet.

Hey 'Squatch! Nice to meet ya, Neaderthal here!

All you get for sharing is the blame when anything goes awry....

I'm with you on your attitude - what I do is between me and my A1C.

What could go wrong?

It's my main soapbox topic of conversation right now. I have been telling everybody about the magic peptides and am happy to be the middle man for several friends and family members. I recon it for pretty much everybody and actively pin my husband because he's kinda wimpy about it.

Well, there the GLP thing. Then there's the compounded thing. Then there's the grey thing, Not to mention the crypto thing. I'm old. I figured it out (by reading). There's too many nuances I don't want to explain. I'm not teacher material.

I try not to onboard many people, as I don’t want loud mouths bringing regulators down on us. Though, I will happily help those who are already seeking.

It is difficult to see someone struggling and know, “there’s a peptide for that,” but their journey is so much deeper, and it’s not my place to help them.

How do y’all “onboard” ya favorite peeps to peps?

Recently, I shared my experiences with my friend. From compounded Tirz to grey Reta. I sent her links to this forum, STG, pep calculator and Fatscientist.

I also promised to help her with questions. My thing is that I usually just point people in the right direction and let them educate themselves. And figure most of it out themselves.

For instance, I used to jailbreak my cell phone when it was more viable to do so. Folks would want me to do it for their devices but I always refused and told them to educate themselves on it. If something went wrong I didn’t need them blaming me or hitting me up at 4am to fix their messed up device.

So, how do y’all go about getting friends/family to be on the grey side of the Force?

I defer to the famous Hunter S. Thompson quote:

"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."

(Just insert strange vials of powder from somewhere in china that make me think twice about choosing KFC )

Some will see it same as fentanyl or heroin and see skin pop same as mainlining...

I did encourage my ex to start tirzepatide, she is overweight with high lipids, hypertension and pre diabetes, so a pretty good idea anyway, but mostly to see if it would reduce her drinking, as even if the kids are not that young 22/17yo , it is still not great for them.

I've done exactly the same with my ex and for exactly the same reasons, including a 21 yo and a 19 yo. Good on ya and here's to hope!
