Clinical perspective on GLP-1 and self-image looking for input:

I have managed roughly 300 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that proper titration prevents most adverse events.

For this specific question, I would recommend: reviewing the relevant clinical guidelines.

Reading this thread on GLP-1 and self-image hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 277 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

13 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 52 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about GLP-1 and self-image — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

This is exactly right. Dr.LeslieOBGYN articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The GLP-1 and self-image aspect is the most important factor.
