Subscribing to this thread. What "Verified" means is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

Slightly tangential to What "Verified" means but carlos_SATX 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.

I know this thread is old but I found it through search and wanted to add my experience with What "Verified" means since this was the most comprehensive discussion I could find.
13 months later, the information in this thread still holds up. My results have been in line with the evidence presented.
For anyone else finding this through search: the advice here is solid. But always verify with your own provider.

Want to share my personal experience related to What "Verified" means our since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 283 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 18 months later: I am down 68 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The What "Verified" aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Relevant to What "Verified" means our — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 199 → 99 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 15 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
