Metabolic and body-composition effects

What changes in the body, beyond the number on the scale

Weight and blood sugar are the headlines, but tirzepatide moves a wider panel: fat versus lean mass, blood pressure, blood fats and inflammation. This unit unpacks those downstream effects, and is careful about which of them were measured in a trial and which are extrapolation.

You will see how fat and muscle both change during rapid loss, how the glucose curve bends over time, and why "how much of the weight is fat" is a question worth asking.
