Gonna push back on this one. Medical tourism for GLP-1 what is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 18 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.
Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But adherence is harder than people admit. We should be honest about that.
Adding my data to this Medical tourism for GLP-1 discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 278 lbs | 223 lbs | 213 lbs |
| A1C | 7.2% | 5.8% | 5.4% |
| hsCRP | 7.0 | 2.0 | 1.2 |
Protocol: Semaglutide 2.4mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.5g/kg/day.

View ResultsSlightly tangential to Medical tourism for GLP-1 but ricardo_MIA reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
