Read methods.

Three questions kill most of the confidence in a thread like this: sample size, blinding, who paid.

Narrow conclusion.

Baseline first.

What is the first thing you would read if you were starting from zero?

How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?

Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this?

Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at.

An inconclusive account is useful if it stops the next person mistaking a story for a controlled comparison.

A certificate of analysis answers one question and gets quoted as though it answers four.

Is a baseline blood test really necessary before starting something like this? Same for me with retatrutide, unfortunately.

Stupid question: how do you know whether what is in the vial matches the label at all?
