Conventional wisdom says Sema is the best place to start? Purity and compound testing? Order with friends and split, or is this a solo game ?

After a solid week of reading up on this - I’m doing this.

My BMI 31 and at risk of esophageal cancer and being obese is a huge risk factor. Plus I don’t feel good. I feel blah.

Looking at weight loss research is depressing - until this crap you were not going to lose and maintain.

Anyway-

My wife made me promise to see if I can get it prescribed but my A1C Is 5.7. My neighbor is an Ozempic drug rep and he said I’m not going to get approved- but I’ll try.

If not approved I’ll do without - but I do have some interesting ideas to research using sema on grapefruits for farming yield purposes.

Question 1) Start with Sema alone?

Question 2) how expensive is testing and what does it tell you?

Question 3) is this game better played alone or do people research and order at once with fellow neighbor grapefruit farmers?
