MASH prevalence in GLP-1 users — what worked for you?

Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then…

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.

Liver enzyme update related to liver and MASH: I had mildly elevated ALT/AST at baseline (likely NAFLD).

That reframing is the part I needed. Taking it to my next appointment.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Pushing back on the anecdote-stacking. Twenty people reporting the same thing is twenty samples from the same self-selected pool, not twenty independent confirmations.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.
