Retatrutide and thyroid function — anyone have experience?

It helps to ask what evidence would change your mind before you look at any.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction.

One practical note: write down what you did and when, before you need it.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person. Both are real; they answer different questions and get quoted as if they were the same one.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. The boring version of this is the one that works, and the boring version is: measure a baseline, change one variable, wait, measure again under the same conditions. Nobody wants that answer and it is still the answer.

Following on from josh_phd_bmore — and this may be the naive question:

Why calcitonin screening is not recommended when the label carries a thyroid warning, because those two facts look contradictory from the outside?

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source. Thread quality here is what the rules are for. Keep it up.
