Adding my data to this GLP-1 and peripheral discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 4 | Month 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 242 lbs | 222 lbs | 217 lbs |
| A1C | 6.6% | 6.2% | 5.4% |
| hsCRP | 6.0 | 3.0 | 0.8 |
Protocol: Tirzepatide 15mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.4g/kg/day.
Reading this thread on GLP-1 and peripheral hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 293 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 68 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about GLP-1 and peripheral — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
