 I’ve been taking  liposomal NAD+ precursor capsules from CATAKOR  for over a year, and I can honestly say they’ve been one of the smartest additions to my routine. 💊⚡ This isn’t some jittery quick fix. The energy is smooth, the focus is steady, and the mental clarity is real. People often tell me I  don’t look my age , so that’s a plus. But for me, this has never been about chasing youth. It’s about staying functional, strong, and mentally sharp as I head into my 60s with purpose. Now I’m stepping it up a notch. My boyfriend has been doing  monthly NAD+ infusions  for a while now. They’ve helped him, but they’re also uncomfortable, time-consuming, and extremely expensive. I’d love to try them myself, but the idea of sitting at an infusion clinic for an hour every month, plus the cost, just doesn’t fit into my schedule or my budget. 💸 That’s why  Amble’s injectable NAD+  caught my attention. It offers a more affordable, flexible option that fits...

I've had losing phases over the last 10 months, but they were always short-lived, frustratingly inconsistent, and often followed by rebounds. The backstory matters: last September, my doctor had to lower my dose of tirzepatide from 12.5 mg to 7.5 mg—not because of blood sugar meds (I don’t take any), but due to repeated  reactive hypoglycemia  episodes. That’s a rare side effect, especially for someone who isn’t diabetic. We couldn’t find 10 mg at the time, so we dropped to 7.5—and it completely backfired. I gained, my inflammation returned, and I felt like I was trapped in my own body again. Eventually, I pushed to try 10 mg again. I couldn’t get the brand version, so I switched to a  compounded GLP-1/GIP mix through AMBLE , and things started to level out. But for months, the journey has been rocky. Even while eating right and staying active, progress felt elusive—mirroring the way things were before medication. The one major factor always working against me?  Slee...

  🌅 Morning Check-In I woke up dizzy, full-on vertigo 🤢, so I stayed in bed and took my meds. I’m almost certain I skipped my blood-pressure pill because my heart went wild later. Lesson logged. 📟 Heart & Glucose Apple Watch pinged me three times while I was sitting quietly: 102–108 bpm at 4:41 PM, 101–107 bpm at 5:57 PM, 99–105 bpm at 6:31 PM 💓 CGM line stayed calm 📈, just a gentle bump after lunch, then coasting in the green zone all evening. No hypos, no scary spikes. 💊 Supplement & Med Stack ✅ All the usual suspects 🚫 GLP-1 Activate (I’ve ditched it, zero benefit) 🚫 NeuroGum ❓ BP med, probably missed 🥗 Macros (MyFitnessPal) Carbs 174 g, Sugar 80 g Protein 130 g Fat 36 g Fiber 18 g 🙌, so the carbs didn’t slam my blood sugar 📊 Welltory Snapshot Stress 80 % 😤 Energy 39 % 🔋 Health 100 % 🛡️ HRV 20 % ↘️ Coherence 0 % My body ran on fight-or-flight all day, yet it never crashed. That’s resilience at work. 📝 What Today Taught Me Vertigo plus missed meds equals ta...

 I clocked in a fantastic night of sleep—9 hours and 28 minutes in bed with 8 hours and 21 minutes of solid rest. My sleep quality came in at 96%, with over 5 hours combined in REM and deep stages. That’s the kind of recovery sleep I wish I could bottle up and save for Mondays. Despite that great start, today felt like I was walking with a quiet weight on my back. By evening, my Welltory stress hit  79%  and my energy dipped to  28% , even though my health score stayed rock solid at  100%  all day. The stress spike seems to tie in with the emotional weight of heading back into that toxic work environment tomorrow. I can feel it in my body before I’ve even clocked in. My glucose stayed stable for most of the day, with just a moderate post-meal spike around dinner. No crashes, which is always a win in my book. Nutrition-wise, I hit  1,602 calories  out of my 1,650 goal. Macros were a bit off-balance: Protein:  86g (short 58g) Carbs:  174g ...

Saturday, June 28, 2025 Today was a solid reminder that health isn’t just about metrics—it’s about joy, connection, and getting the hell away from toxic environments. I spent the day with people who love me, people I trust, and it shows in my numbers. No drama, no operating room tension—just fresh air, laughter, and real companionship. 🧠 Energy & Stress Welltory shows a noticeable uptick in energy compared to the past few days. My stress level dropped and stayed low for most of the day. I woke up refreshed, had a peaceful morning, and stayed grounded throughout. This is what nervous system regulation actually  feels  like. Stress : Low, smooth baseline Energy : Trending upward Mood : Even and grounded, no spikes ❤️ HRV, Heart Rate & Recovery HRV is stable and higher than my weekday average, no doubt helped by the relaxed pace of the day. Resting heart rate stayed in my healthy range, and my recovery metrics are more in line with what they  should  be when I’...

 Woke up this morning knowing something was off—and my metrics confirmed it. At  7:47 AM , stress was already at  59% 😬 , energy was dragging at  35% 🪫 , and although my  health resilience was 100% 🟢 , my  HRV was only 24% 📉 , which explained the low stamina. I chalked it up to cumulative system strain, probably from trying to push through earlier in the week without giving myself enough recovery time. By  1:44 PM , things had taken a sharper turn. My  stress spiked to 97% 🔥 , energy dropped to  12% ⚠️ , and coherence took a hit at  35% 🤯 . HRV tanked at  1% 🧨 , and my nervous system was stuck in full sympathetic overdrive 🏃‍♀️💨. Brain fog kicked in, and I knew right away that decision-making and mental focus were compromised. Welltory even warned me to postpone anything important—and it wasn’t wrong. But the twist? Despite that crash,  my health resilience stayed rock solid at 100% 🧬  all day. That’s not nothing...
