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.

Happy to go further on any of that.

NASH/MAFLD therapeutic landscape and liver and MASH: GLP-1 agonists are emerging as potential first-line NASH therapy.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

I read this differently from james_edin, on substance rather than tone. 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. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. Thread quality here is what the rules are for. Keep it up.
