Dr.PeteFamMed — that is really helpful context on Endotoxin testing methods. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?
I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
Want to share my personal experience related to Endotoxin testing methods since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 249 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 16 months later: I am down 44 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Endotoxin testing aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
