Thread quality is excellent — keep it up. 👍
Clinical perspective on DEXA before/after body recomposition:
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.

I respect Admin perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: DEXA before/after body — the effect size varies considerably by population.
I am not saying Admin wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The STEP data specifically shows dose-dependent variation.

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 DEXA before/after — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
