From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
Sharing my comprehensive lab data relevant to lean mass:
| Biomarker | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 6 | Month 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight (lbs) | 271 | 246 | 231 | 201 |
| A1C (%) | 7.1 | 6.1 | 6.0 | 5.3 |
| hsCRP (mg/L) | 6.0 | 3.0 | 2.5 | 0.7 |
| Triglycerides | 231 | 171 | 131 | 111 |
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:
| Baseline | Month 6 | Month 12 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total mass | 262 lbs | 227 lbs | 209 lbs |
| Fat mass | 112 lbs | 82 lbs | 44 lbs |
| Lean mass | 150 lbs | 149 lbs | 156 lbs |
| Body fat % | 39% | 35% | 23% |
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):
| Metric | Baseline | Month 3 | Month 6 | Month 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skeletal Muscle (lbs) | 70 | 66 | 73 | 72 |
| Body Fat (lbs) | 102 | 70 | 60 | 40 |
| Body Fat % | 40% | 33% | 25% | 22% |
| Visceral Fat (cm²) | 147 | 122 | 82 | 57 |
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.
