The tracking side of a protocol
Everything below is about record-keeping: what to write down, why it turns out to matter, and how to read it back. None of it recommends a compound or a dose, and none of it replaces the person who prescribes yours.
GLP-1
How to track a GLP-1 protocol properly
A weekly injection is easy to take and surprisingly easy to lose track of. What to record, why the date matters more than the dose, and how to keep a titration legible to the person who prescribed it.
GLP-1
Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound: which is which
Four brand names, two molecules, and a lot of confusion. What each name actually refers to, why the same drug is sold twice under different labels, and what that means when you are keeping a record.
Pharmacokinetics
Peptide half-life, explained
Half-life is the number that decides how often something is injected, how long it takes to settle, and how long it lingers after you stop. Here is what it does tell you, and the three things people assume it tells them that it does not.
Dosing
mg, mcg and units: the arithmetic people get wrong
Most dosing errors in this space are not judgement calls, they are unit conversions. What a "unit" on a syringe measures, how concentration turns milligrams into a mark on a barrel, and why your log should hold both.
Technique
Injection site rotation: a system you will actually follow
Rotation is standard advice and almost nobody does it deliberately, because doing it deliberately requires remembering where the last four went. A simple scheme, and what to record so the scheme survives contact with real life.
Protocols
How to plan and record a peptide cycle
On periods, off periods, and stacks with different frequencies. How to lay a cycle out so that you can tell, six months later, what you were actually running and what it coincided with.
TRT
Tracking TRT: esters, timing and bloodwork
Testosterone replacement is the protocol where record-keeping pays off fastest, because the thing that decides your next dose is a blood test whose result depends on when in the week it was taken.
Tools
Spreadsheet, notes app, or a tracker: what actually survives
Every method works for three weeks. The interesting question is which one still has your data in it a year later, and which one can answer a question you did not think to plan for.
