Saving this for reference. Quality thread.
Slightly tangential to Has anyone dealt with but Dr.CardioMD reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
Relevant to Has anyone dealt with — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 217 → 117 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
Want to share my personal experience related to Has anyone dealt with since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 288 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 12 months later: I am down 68 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Has anyone dealt aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.
