Slightly tangential to Muscle protein synthesis but sarah.morrison reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Slightly tangential to Muscle protein synthesis but stefan_berlin reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?

Reading this thread on Muscle protein synthesis hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 293 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 68 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Muscle protein — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
