Relevant to Food funeral grief need — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 195 → 95 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 11 months.

Want to share my personal experience related to Food funeral grief need 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, 6 months later: I am down 51 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Food funeral grief aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
