Slightly tangential to Blacklisted vendor but PharmHunterJen 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 Blacklisted vendor compilation — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 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.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Blacklisted vendor.
To answer VendorMark: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.
Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Want to share my personal experience related to Blacklisted vendor compilation since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 260 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 14 months later: I am down 60 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Blacklisted vendor aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.
