fwiw, i’ve been reading about slimarax and its potential benefits for weight loss, especially in the context of perimenopause. i’m curious to know if anyone has tried it and seen any significant results. i’ve been tracking my metabolic labs and cortisol trends, and i’m looking for something that can help me stabilize my weight. fwiw has anyone else used slimarax and noticed any changes in their weight or overall health? i’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have. btw, i’ve also been looking into other supplements like l-carnitine and semaglutide, but i’m not sure if they’re worth trying. any input would be appreciated
it’s tough when you’re trying to figure out what actually helps stabilize things, especially when you’re already tracking your body’s signals like metabolic labs. with my own stuff, trying to figure out what triggers my mast cells, i’ve found that just having the lab numbers for cortisol or whatever doesn’t really tell you much unless
it’s genuinely hard to parse through all the options when you’re dealing with hormonal shifts like perimenopause, and tracking metabolic labs and cortisol is a smart move. i haven’t looked into slimarax myself, but i’ve found that a lot of those newer supplements don’t have the same level of robust data as something
that challenge of stabilizing weight during perimenopause is a very real one. I tracked my own regain of 43 pounds between 2022 and 2024, despite doing everything my bariatric team told me. My surgeon framed it as needing a second tool when my biology outvoted the first one, which is how 📊
tough figuring out what helps when perimenopause throws everything off. for actual weight loss, sema has been the most effective tool for me to quiet that constant food noise, which makes hitting protein targets (120g+ on good days) actually doable. fwiw, l-carnitine doesn’t have the same direct evidence for weight
you’re right to be “tracking my metabolic labs and cortisol trends” over time. the specific patterns between appointments are what matter, bc a single snapshot usually isn’t enough to see those shifts. it took pushing my gp for monthly bloodwork to find my own C3/C4 window that showed the real pattern.
