โIโm just big-bonedโฆโ
Weโve all said it. But my DEXA scan doesnโt lie.**
My entire skeleton weighs 6.9 pounds.
2.45 pounds of that is my skull.
So no โ itโs not โbig bones.โ
Itโs body composition.
For women 40+, the average body fat percentage is 40.5%.
A healthy range is 23โ33%.
Mine came in at 15.6%.
And before anyone thinks this is โjust because of peptides,โ hereโs the truth:
Yes โ I microdose GLP-1/GIP with B12, and I just added tesamorelin last week for healthy aging support.
But Iโve also been lifting weights for 30 YEARS, even back when my body fat was much higher.
My physique wasnโt built by medications โ it was built by time under tension, protein, recovery, discipline, and consistency.
Peptides are a tool.
They do not replace the work.
Muscle is the secret.
It drives your metabolism.
Protects your bones.
Regulates blood sugar.
Supports hormones.
Keeps you strong as you age.
And it is one of the strongest predictors of how well youโll live in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.
So ask yourself:
What story are you telling yourself about your body?
Big-boned?
Slow metabolism?
โToo late to startโ?
โCanโt build muscle after 40โ?
Those arenโt truths.
Theyโre stories โ and they can change.
If you want to understand your body composition, strength training, and how the right peptide support can fit into healthy aging, comment GOALS or DM me.
