Want to share my personal experience related to Alcohol + MASH + GLP-1 need since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 276 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 8 months later: I am down 81 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Alcohol + MASH + aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.

I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.
