Can you tell if you're retaining muscle with that combination? Is this a doctor prescribed protocol or a DIY stack?

I have had three major bouts of weightloss so I can say with some confidence im retaining muscle in my lower body (because of the return to running) but have lost a lot in my chest and back from the significant reduction in heavy lifting but the muscle definition is better. This is almost exactly what we expected to happen and yes, Im working with an actual sports focused md. Insurance costs for HRT and wegovy were through the roof.

You might consider doing some body fat vs muscle ratio comparison tests. There are 3 methods that give pretty good results. DEXA, Bod Pod & Hydrostatic weighing. I never investigated it much, but I had a buddy who tried all three & felt hydrostatic was the best and most affordable.

I don't know if these are the best resources, I only gave them a cursory glance. The summary does a good job.

		Oh Ive done dexa’s before, I mostly dont care about hard body comp numbers anymore. Part of this latest “journey” is separating my identity from the “stats” of my body, because I was defined by them for so long. I want to spend my time feeling and looking good now.
