Standard semaglutide titration: Weeks 1-4: 0.25 mg weekly Weeks 5-8: 0.5 mg weekly Weeks 9-12: 1.0 mg weekly Week 13+: 1.7 mg or 2.4 mg weekly (target dose) Hashimoto's-adjusted approach: Weeks 1-6: 0.25 mg weekly (extended to allow thyroid monitoring at week 6) Weeks 7-12: 0.5 mg weekly (TSH check before increasing) Weeks 13-16: 1.0 mg weekly Week 17+: Assess whether higher doses are needed The extended timeline allows for thyroid function checks at each step, ensuring levothyroxine doses are adjusted proactively rather than reactively

However, a high-impact research agenda now requires broader outcomes, including durability of benefit after long-term treatment, body-composition changes during weight loss, preservation of muscle function, reduction in analgesic or injection use, time to arthroplasty, perioperative optimization, and structural imaging progression (Wilding et al., 2022
