Welcome to the “What are people injecting themselves with!” (peptides) series website for resources.
You won't find a peptide dosing guide here. You won't find an affiliate code. You won't find a product link. You'll only find my best interpretation of the literature, written as clearly and honestly as I can.
I'm not an expert, and l'm not claiming to be. I'm just a curious medical student who cares about people (Reta Rats) who are experimenting with these compounds in real life. I'm coming at this from a public health lens and a medical student lens, with a focus on what we actually know, what we don't, and what gets overstated online.

MISSION STATEMENT
Reta Rats exists to examine emerging metabolic and performance compounds through an evidence-first lens.
This community is dedicated to:
• Interpreting published data
• Understanding mechanisms of action
• Identifying limitations and unknowns
• Discussing physiologic risk
We approach compounds with curiosity, not blind marketer enthusiasm.
If we don’t know, we say we DON’T KNOW.
If the data is weak, we say IT’S WEAK.
If something carries risk, we ALWAYS name the risk.
Overall my goal is to foster a community that is more HONEST about health and what we see online.
This is not a medical clinic, a sourcing network, or a stack-optimization lab.
About me
Jackie is not a renowned Human Biologist, longevity expert, or architectural designer of the human soul. She’s a curious medical student with a Wi-Fi connection, a PubMed tab permanently open, and no plans to “optimize” your mitochondria. She reads papers, asks annoying questions, and refuses to call speculation “breakthrough science.”
She has not analyzed millions of biomarkers, unlocked ancient health secrets, or helped thousands reclaim their vitality. What she has done is notice how confidently people sell certainty where none exists.
Her approach combines reading the actual literature with saying “we don’t know” more often than the internet is comfortable with. Before starting this page, Jackie spent most of her time watching people online confidently overstate mouse data, invent protocols, and confuse vibes with evidence.
This project exists not to extend lifespan, unlock hidden biology, or help you become the “ultimate” anything — but to slow things down, add context, and apply a public health lens to compounds people are already experimenting with in real life.
No protocols were harmed in the making of this page. For madmen only.
Contrary to popular belief, this medical student is not sponsored by pharma.
Why should you trust me?
I am not an expert.
I am not a guru.
I am not a longevity expert because those don’t exist.
I am not your peptide dealer.
I have not “helped thousands.”
I just give you citations, context, excel sheets, codes, and a public health reality check.
