Omega-3 index improvement on the lipid panel: often overlooked but my omega-3 index went from 4.0% to 8.0% over 13 months. I supplemented with 2g EPA+DHA daily.

This matters because omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective, complementing the GLP-1 benefits. Target omega-3 index is >8%. Combined with the triglyceride reduction from the medication, my lipid profile is the best it's been in decades.

Before/after bloodwork compilation for the lipid panel — everything in one place for those who want comprehensive data:

Every single metabolic marker improved. This is why I'm a believer in this therapy.

Mine went the same way, slower.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.

Advanced lipoprotein testing on the lipid panel — going beyond standard lipid panel:

The shift from small dense to large buoyant LDL is particularly important — it represents a fundamental change in the atherogenic profile.
