Consistency over months yields cumulative results
This large population-based study found that people with [IBD] who received [GLP-1 RA] medications, either for diabetes or other reasons, had a lower incidence of developing colon cancer compared to those who did not receive those medications

Why women need lower doses Biological differences: Smaller average body size Different hormone profiles More sensitive to some peptides Better response at lower doses often General rule: Start 20-30% lower than male doses Women: 150-200mcg vs Men: 200-300mcg (GH peptides) Titrate based on response More isn't better for women Hormone cycle considerations (perimenopause) If still menstruating: GH peptides: Use consistently throughout cycle Weight loss peptides: May work better in follicular phase (days 1-14) Some women dose higher during luteal phase (more resistant) Track response across full cycle Post-menopause: No cycle to consider Consistent dosing easier More predictable results Age-specific dosing Women 40-50 (perimenopause): Start conservative Body still producing some hormones Lower doses effective Women 50-60 (menopause): Standard doses appropriate Need more GH replacement Can titrate higher if needed Women 60-70+: Start very low Increase slowly More sensitive to side effects Benefits still significant Safety considerations for women over 40 Special precautions for this demographic

Consult a licensed medical provider before beginning any peptide treatment
While GLP-1 agonist therapy medications have been marketed as diabetes treatments before, Mounjaro also has the action of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)
The doctor, who has been studying the rise of peptide use and is pushing for tighter regulations, said many of the substances had not even been tested on humans
