This is a massive topic. The first step for high BP is almost always adding potassium and losing unnecessary fat. Sensible weightlifting without overtraining is key. I recommend the book The Perfect Health Diet as a starting point for diet. Eat within an 8 hour window as much as possible. Avoid high-risk food such as seed oils and wheat. TMG (AKA Betaine) will help fat loss. The key is consistency over a long period of time.

Thread '20 Heart-Healthy Actions With Better Risk/Reward Than Statins'

Mar 8, 2020

Here at Excelmale there are frequent posts discussing the pros and cons of statins, and one in particular several weeks ago where a position paper was cited where the assumption was that statins are not only a viable option but should be the first line of defense against heart disease. As I have stated elsewhere, the best evidence seems to be that from a risk/reward perspective, statins may provide a rounding-error level of benefit for some people but come with potentially catastrophic risks. Rather than rehash that here, this post takes a different perspective by compiling a list of...

Thread 'Optimizing Fat Loss and Muscle Preservation: Tirzepatide + Oxandrolone + TRT + Protein & Exercise'

This article outlines a comprehensive strategy for optimizing fat loss and muscle preservation, primarily discussed within the context of an online forum dedicated to men's health, ExcelMale.com. The core of the strategy involves a multi-faceted approach combining specific pharmacotherapies, including tirzepatide (a GLP-1/GIP dual-agonist) for fat reduction, low-dose oxandrolone and physiologic testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to maintain lean muscle mass. Alongside these medical interventions, the protocol emphasizes the critical roles of high protein...

You aren't going to lose weight and gain significant muscle at the same time, so let's assume you are prioritizing weight loss first. GLP-1, preferably retatrutide, done. Add keto / carnivore diet for extra credit and the ability to maintain the weight loss without a GLP-1 drug.
