Reading this thread on FDA compounding hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 297 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
13 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 72 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about FDA compounding — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
Moderator note: Great discussion, everyone. Just a reminder to keep things civil and evidence-based.
Thread quality is excellent — keep it up. 👍
Relevant to FDA compounding enforcement — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 229 → 99 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.
Congrats bri_stats!! You should be so proud of yourself. 🎉
