GLP-1 drugs are not ‘weight loss’ drugs. That’s what people need to understand. They absolutely do lead to life-changing weight loss, but that’s just a side-effect of the miraculous anti-inflammatory properties they have. Inflammation is the key for most chronic disease. Heart disease, neurological disease, cancers, auto-immune disease, respiratory disease etc. All the big killers. This is a genuine, astonishing revolution in health care. As big if not bigger than antibiotics. Obesity itself is regulated by inflammation. Telling people to eat less and exercise more doesn’t fix obesity. It’s a metabolic disease, their metabolism has been dysregulated and is dysfunctional. GLP-1 corrects the dysfunction, and their eating. We will all end up on these types of drugs to treat multiple conditions, they’ll extend well beyond weight loss.
