Want to share my personal experience related to Adiponectin and leptin changes since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 251 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 16 months later: I am down 81 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Adiponectin and aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

No issues to report — carry on. 👍

Adding my data to this Adiponectin and leptin discussion:

Protocol: Semaglutide 1.7mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.5g/kg/day.

PeptideChemSF — wow. I've been looking for this exact info for weeks.

Adiponectin and leptin is exactly what I've been researching

This is exactly right. JakeBK_lifts articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The Adiponectin and leptin aspect is the most important factor.
