I want to bring up the cardiovascular angle on cardiovascular risk.
Metabolic syndrome resolution on cardiovascular risk: I went from meeting 4 of 5 diagnostic criteria to meeting ZERO after 12 months of treatment.
The 5 criteria (and my journey):
- Waist circumference: 51" → 37" ✅ Resolved
- Triglycerides: 259 → 109 ✅ Resolved
- HDL: 35 → 61 ✅ Resolved
- Blood pressure: 149/97 → 122/76 ✅ Resolved
- Fasting glucose: 124 → 87 ✅ Resolved
Metabolic syndrome reversal is, in my view, the most medically significant outcome of GLP-1 therapy.
