“You don’t feel the lag anymore, which is really magical.”

— Misty Smith

For Misty, the most immediate shift after receiving Follistatin was energy—and the way it changed her relationship with rest. She found she could sleep around seven hours instead of the nine or more she’d always needed and still feel fully restored. That sense of being well-rested carried into her days and workouts, where she noticed more consistent energy and far less soreness. Through regular DEXA scans, she could see the changes clearly: gaining muscle, losing weight, and making measurable progress month over month. That feedback loop — feeling better, working harder, and seeing results — made the experience especially motivating and tangible.

Beyond the physical metrics, Misty describes a meaningful boost in overall quality of life. Having more energy lifted the persistent “lag” she’d felt for years and made her feel happier and more engaged in daily life. During the clinical trial period, she even reached a weight goal she hadn’t been able to hit in a long time, something she directly attributes to the support Follistatin gave her. She also speaks highly of the Minicircle experience itself — from the professionalism of the clinic to the ongoing access to answers.
