From the other side of the consultation, briefly.

Sharing my comprehensive lab data relevant to lean mass:

Protocol: Tirzepatide 15mg/wk, resistance training 4x/week, protein 1.6g/kg/day.

The improvements in lean mass are clearly reflected in these numbers. The inflammatory marker reduction (hsCRP) is particularly striking.

DEXA scan update relevant to lean mass:

Scanned at months 0, 6, and 12. Here are the body comp numbers:

Lean mass preserved — actually GAINED 1-2 lbs thanks to progressive overload + 1.6g/kg protein. The lean mass discussion needs to include body comp data, not just scale weight.

Body composition tracking via bioimpedance on lean mass (InBody scan every 3 months):

Note: skeletal muscle mass dipped initially then recovered with consistent resistance training + high protein. The visceral fat reduction is where the metabolic magic happens.

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.
