"25 mg empagliflozin or 10 mg dapagliflozin before bed alongside your growth hormone and your injectable carnitine - I think that's a good way to minimize side effects of insulin sensitivity from the growth hormone and they keep you a little bit leaner cosmetically."

"Steve mentioned in the source video: "Look into empagliflozin or telmisartan, it might help you with water distribution and make you look a little bit leaner." (Reported speaker observation only - empagliflozin and telmisartan are prescription pharmaceuticals; not medical advice, not an endorsement for off-label..."

| Speaker | Source | Timestamp | Protocol | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vigorous Steve | Pool Party Protocols, 16-Week Tren Cycle, No GH Bloat, EQ Safety,... | 00:40:20 | Don't reach for empagliflozin to mask GH-induced fasting glucose elevation. Fix with daily fasted cardio, 10-min walks after meals, GH before bed, no carbs in last meal. Only use for longevity/anti-aging or as last resort. | anecdotal |
| Vigorous Steve | Best PED Use (Competitive vs. Lifestyle) & All Things to Avoid Death... | 01:20:51 | Steve (anecdotal) reported using 10 to 25 mg empagliflozin before bed while carbing up. Empagliflozin is a prescription SGLT2 inhibitor; this is a third-party report, not medical advice or a recommended protocol. | anecdotal |
| Hunter | Saturday Morning Coffee Talk 6/6/26 | 01:27:50 | Hunter reported monitoring blood pressure when combining ATX with Jardiance and noted reducing Jardiance to 12.5 mg when blood pressure dropped. | anecdotal |
| Vigorous Steve | Ozempic Issues, Injectable Anadrol, Shrink Gyno, Hypo On Tren, PIP... | 00:50:14 | 25 mg empagliflozin before bed alongside GH + injectable carnitine to minimize GH-induced insulin sensitivity loss and water retention | anecdotal |
| Vigorous Steve | GH Secretagogues Vs Real GH, Managing Estradiol On Cycle,... | 01:36:29 | 25mg empagliflozin daily before bed; double dose on cheat day (Sunday) - 25mg morning + 25mg evening to balance glucose | anecdotal |
| Vigorous Steve | Low-Dose MENT Year-Round, Melt Love Handle Fat, Injectable YK-11,... | 01:38:31 | Vigorous Steve reported using 10-25 mg as needed (e.g., after cheat meals or alongside GH for insulin resistance). | anecdotal |
| Vigorous Steve | These 3 Things Will Work Better Than Anything For Fat Loss | 00:07:53 | 25 mg before bed; works best when stacked with >2 IU growth hormone daily and >2 mg retatrutide weekly | anecdotal |
| Vigorous Steve | Best Injectable Oral Steroids, Injectable Pre-Workouts SubQ Vs IM,... | 00:29:22 | 25 mg empagliflozin before bed | anecdotal |
| The Hunter Williams Podcast | Saturday Morning Coffee Talk 6/20/26 | 00:35:18 | Start at 10 mg or 12.5 mg Jardiance; 25 mg may be better for higher body fat or high blood pressure, but lean optimization users may prefer about 12.5 mg. | anecdotal |
