May 12 – Metrics Blog Post: A Day of Duality

 I woke up today feeling optimistic, and my early Welltory readings backed that up. At 11:22 a.m., my stress was light (38%), energy was high at 79%, and my health resilience clocked in at a perfect 100%. HRV score was 100% and my nervous system was dominated by a calm parasympathetic tone. Everything pointed to a smooth, productive Monday.



By midday, however, things shifted sharply. At 1:42 p.m., stress skyrocketed to 96% while energy crashed to 19%, even though my health metrics remained resilient. I was running on fumes. My nervous system flipped, with my sympathetic system surging. Despite great satiety from Friday’s 12.5 mg Zepbound, which is still working beautifully, my body clearly signaled: pause, regroup, breathe.



My glucose remained stable all day with a gentle upward bump after lunch (roast beef and mayo) and another slight climb with my early evening dinner. By 7:44 p.m., I was showing signs of depletion again: stress at 84%, energy at 20%, but—remarkably—health resilience still sitting at 100%. My HRV dropped to 1%, but coherence remained high at 74%, suggesting my systems were still in sync despite the low variability.


I got in 5,727 steps today, covering 3.85 km with 41 active minutes. I still met my exercise goal and nearly closed my move ring—595 out of 600 calories. My macros hit near target: 157g of protein (39%), 59g of fat (33%), and 110g of carbs (28%) across 1,585 total calories.

Today’s Stack: Supplement & Medication Support
Taken across the morning and midday, all at standard doses:

Medications:

  • NP Thyroid 90mg

  • Lopressor 50mg

Looking at the big picture, today felt like a physiological contradiction: highly resilient yet energetically tapped out. The GLP-1 support continues to suppress appetite and reduce inflammation, but the high-stress environment and long work hours still take their toll. I’ll be winding down with a calm walk tonight and early sleep.

New delish snack.  Do you like olives?

💩 From Bloated to Balanced: How These Enzymes Saved Me Mid-Tirzepatide Constipation

Image
 I don’t usually write about what happens  after  dinner… but let’s just say yesterday deserved a post. I’m on  week 147 of tirzepatide  (shoutout to my Friday night injection crew), and despite having my routine mostly dialed in, I got hit hard with  brick wall  constipation this week. No warning. Just... 💥 stuck. So I did what I regularly do: I reached for my  Physician’s Choice Digestive Enzymes . I bought them a while back for “just in case” moments. Yesterday? It was the  case . And y’all — they worked. But this post isn’t just about relief. It’s about understanding what you’re actually putting in your body — especially when you're navigating the layered effects of GLP-1s like tirzepatide. Let’s unpack the  ingredient blend  and why it matters: 🧪 What’s Inside These Capsules — And Why It Works These enzymes go way beyond the basics. Here’s what you’re really getting in every serving: 1. Protease Blend (5 Types) Breaks down pr...

🌀 Sunday Check-In: Rainy Walks, Superhero Dreams & Nervous System Wins

Image
  📅 Date:  June 15, 2025 📍 Location:  Central New Jersey 🌧️ Weather:  Cool, rainy, peaceful 🧠 Mood:  Grounded, calm, and fully content ☀️ Morning Reflection I spent the day in Central Jersey, where I stay about half the week. The weather was moody—cool and rainy—but that didn’t stop me from getting out for  two walks , including a peaceful loop through  Colonial Park , which always resets me mentally. Last night’s sleep was solid, but the  dreams were something else . I’m in  week 147 on Tirzepatide , and I’ve definitely noticed a trend with increasingly vivid REM cycles. Last night’s were full-on  superhero mode —not bad dreams, just chaotic, detailed, and fast-paced. My subconscious was on a mission. 📊 Morning vs. Evening Metrics What started as a lower-energy, high-stress morning completely reversed by early evening. My body flipped into full parasympathetic recovery, and the numbers backed it up: I didn’t nap, overdo it, or stre...

June 18 – Metrics Blog: From Burnout to Recovery Mode 💥➡️🌿

Image
 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...
