Relevant to I stopped wanting wine and I — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 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.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 285 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 14 months later: I am down 35 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The I stopped wanting aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
