Problems that Wegovy and Zepbound solve for most people taking them, when no other solution worked for those people. > There are hugely beneficial approaches that rely on CBT, CBT is much more expensive, time-intensive, and less effective for weight loss than GLP-1 drugs. It also scales incredibly poorly, as you need a huge number of therapists. There are roughly a hundred million obese Americans. We can make enough drugs to treat all them, but can we make and pay for several million therapists to perform CBT on all of them, all for less efficacy than the GLP-1 agonists? Fat chance.
