Cholesterol will almost certainly get worse, though it is more guaranteed with HDL than LDL. Liver problems are a choice of which compounds you use. Orals are obviously tough, but most oils aren’t going to be bad on your liver if you use some sort of TUDCA or NAC. Kidneys the same, but with...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916523071836 Various meta analysis show mostly similar results.

Do you have a citation for that, because meta analysis of psylium for cholesterol doesn’t show a single study that long, nor does it show anything with a result even coming close to that number. Also, google doesn’t show that there is a single study with those words in it. I am extremely...

About five percent, as I said, if you are starting from zero fiber. If you are starting from a normal dietary amount, much less even than that.

None of those things you mention have the ability to bring LDL down 50%, which is basically where he should be. I think I am literally the only person on here who reads actual research. They are all fine products, but they make extremely marginal differences. Psyllium husk, which is fiber...

That is not a solution for a cholesterol ratio like that. Red yeast rice, and if that doesn’t work, a statin.

Have you tried red yeast rice? There’s really no way to get good HDL numbers, even on TRT, unless it is a genetic gift, but red yeast rice does wonders for LDL, which are more important anyway.

Liver numbers aren’t that bad. Problematic is like 10x the high normal. Cholesterol is something to watch though.

FWIW, I’ve take tirzepatide as well. Worked exactly as advertised. I did a mini cut on it. Four weeks lost 12 lbs in preparation for bulking. No side effects other than a couple days of nasty farts. It’s not at all like just dieting or just exercise or diet and exercise. It has many...

This is true. The GLP drugs are amazing, have beneficial side effects, and people on here have been bizarro about them.

I don’t think that he is going to turn from an elephant into a mouse. I’m pretty sure there are other biological differences between these two species other than weight. Fasting is probably not the worst thing you can do, but people have so misread the studies on it that it makes my head spin...

That’s not what I mean. I am just saying that since you have highly non standard responses to what are diabetes medicines, there might just be a different way your body deals with the glucose-insulin axis that makes this happen.

This, and how generally hard it is on your body, are the two biggest issues.

Given your history of pre diabetes at a very early age, and your negative experiences with both metformin and semaglutide, I wonder if there is some underlying issue with glucose/insulin management. I don’t think it matters, and you seem to have figured out what does work well for you, which is...

Have you tried tirzepatide? Some people do better on that. The effect is not only appetite suppression, but how you process food. Clen, which many don’t like here, is also a lot safer than DNP. I just can’t think of anything that would convince me to use that stuff in my body.
