I was at 22-24% BF when I started. Cut very slowly to not lose much muscle with diet and workout in check. Hopefully I’ve succeeded.

I live in North America, and 2022 was the last time I visited India. My flight landed in Delhi, and from there I had an internal Vistara flight to Mumbai.
Funny coincidence - just a week before, my dad had taken a Vistara flight from Mumbai to Delhi, and he mentioned that Shalmali Kholgade was in business class with him. I knew her since about 2015 from Coke Studio before she blew up. I remember thinking “oh nice.”
Then on my own Delhi–Mumbai flight, I realized she was on it too. Small world. She was seated fairly close to me. I’m just not the type to go up to celebrities for a photo or to chat, so I stayed in my seat and didn’t say anything.
What I did notice, though, was the elderly man sitting next to her for the whole flight. Genuinely old - and she was so kind to him the entire time. Chatting away, warm, attentive, zero attitude. Nothing like the aloof celebrity energy you’d expect.
Then after we landed, at the baggage belt, I saw her actually help him get his bag off the conveyor - like, physically lifted his heavy suitcase off for him. You don’t see that. Most celebrities would let someone else deal with it.
The best part - somewhere in the conversation, he asked her what she does for a living. She just said “I’m an artist.” Didn’t mention being famous, didn’t make a thing of it. Completely low-key.
Honestly watching all this, I kept thinking I should just go say hi to her - but she was so unassuming about the whole thing that I didn’t want to break the moment. I recently watched one of her podcast appearances on YouTube and this memory came back to me, so figured I’d finally write it down here.
Just a nice little reminder that not everyone in this industry is like the stories we usually post here.
Hey,
31M, currently ~70kg (154 lbs) at 15% BF. Cutting to ~67kg (148 lbs) at 12-13% over the next 2 months, then maintenance, then lean bulk. Already on 125mg TRT.
Q1: What peptides would you recommend for a lean bulk to maximize muscle while keeping BF low? Not really looking to add more anabolics — mostly interested in peptides.
Q2: Considering Tesamorelin vs HGH. Main concern with exogenous HGH — does natural GH production come back after stopping, or is it suppressed long-term like testosterone on TRT? Does Tesamorelin avoid this problem since it works through your own axis?
Thanks
So for the past two months I’ve been on GHK-Cu 2mg, BPC-157 0.2mg, TB-500 0.2mg — 5 days on, 2 days off.
I was also taking zinc, magnesium and B6 every night but about three to four weeks ago I just stopped remembering to take it. Kept running the GHK-Cu though the whole time.
A little after then, since last 2 weeks, I’ve been getting headaches, dizziness, brain fog, confusion. Mentally I’ve been feeling more anxious than usual, a bit low, slightly depressed. Some muscle aches and feeling a little cold as well.
My guess is that running GHK-Cu consistently without any zinc might have created some kind of copper/zinc imbalance. Could that be behind most of these symptoms?
I’ve stopped GHK-Cu a few days ago and restarted zinc two days back.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? How long did it take to feel normal again, especially mentally?
