3. I've been taking a GLP/GIP medication, UNDER Dr supervision for 9.5 mths

It's more than just a weight loss drug, it's a metabolic medication.

1. Cardiovascular - improves blood pressure control; Enhanced lipid profiles; Reduced inflammation.

2. Kidney Health - reduces protein in urine; reduces progression; improves renal blood flow & glomerular pressure

3. Liver - reduction in liver fat; significant fibrosis improvement indicators such as decreased MRE stiffness.

4. Neuroprotection and Cognitive Benefits - Possess significant neuroprotective properties with the potential benefits; neuroprotective mechanisms include anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; cross the blood brain barrier and enhanced insulin signaling in key brain regions.

5. Cancer Risk Reduction of Obesity related cancers - Slow tumor cell proliferation in some models; promote apoptosis (progammed cell death); improve immune surveillance in the tumor micro environment to prevent tumor growth and try and attach cancer cells early.

6. Anti-inflammatory and Auto Immune Benefits - Exert broad anti-inflammatory effects across multiple organ systems through both direct and indirect mechanisms; Regulate several inflammatory pathways, including cytokine production, oxidative stress, and recruitment of immune cells in various organs.

7. PCOS and Fertility Benefits - PCOS scale go down for women; led to more weight loss; better insulin sensitivity; lower testosterone; more regular periods; higher pregnancy rates.

Some physicians are now prescribing, off label, to help those with LONG COVID.

I have blood tests every 3 mths and monitor pancreatic enzymes and liver function. For me, this medication has been life changing in more than weight loss.

I have multiple autoimmune issues which have been helped thru GREATLY reduced inflammation. My skin on my feet was so bad, that I was unable to walk. Since the first few weeks of taking this, the skin began to clear and is nearly cleared entirely.

I will continue taking this, exercising precaution, but hope it continues to always be available.
