Whether it is safe for you is not answerable by randoms on the internet, but the class of drugs (GLP1 Receptor Agonists) are VERY well researched (like other commenters have pointed out). If the wealth of anecdotal experience isn't e

TIL, thanks for this insight -- where did you find this rule of thumb?

Ozempic face isn't real -- it'd happen for any other effective form of drastic whole-body weight loss. There's just been nothing so effective (and relatively side-effect free and cheap, believe it or not) up until now. Note t

Probably another 5 years :) It won't be Ozempic but probably one of the orally-administered forms for most people.

And the trend is likely to continue. I don't know if the fast food industry can reinvent itself like the tobacco industry seems to have (see vapes and now zyn) but it's going to be much more difficult I think.

Super glad you found this solution and Mounjaro was helpful. These drugs are all explicitly for T2D so it's surprising it wasn't suggested to you.

Note that there are actually a BUNCH of different formulations that do the same thing (mostly) -- the class of GLP1 Receptor Agonists: - Semaglutide - Tirzepatide - Liraglutide - Exenatide - Danuglipron Those are just some. And like others

Late but that's awesome! Thanks for making the update!

Well this is fascinating: > This year, some female users, mostly of Ozempic, began sharing tales of unexpected pregnancies, with the hashtag #OzempicBabies trending on social media. Some had previously struggled to conceive; others were

Disclaimer: I'm biased of course -- I run a site that's all about the positive and negative effects of GLP1, but I'm of the opinion that they're positive over-all in the absence of comprehensive nutrition/foodstuff

Note that Rybelsus is a pill version of Semaglutide, developed by Novo Nordisk Wrote a little about it here: https://glp1.guide/content/a-glp1-ra-drug-without-a-needle-r...

This is awesome, thanks for doing it -- the data looks high quality, and the layout is fantastic! I think it might be a bit early to accurately attribute a negative correlation between clinics and obesity rates at a state level but. It also

I assume you mean experienced -- what did you do to recover? Sounds like it was temporary?

It's been interesting to see companies try to adapt to the wave -- If you previously produced addictive but ultimately bad-for-you products... I wonder how you can adapt to a world where peoples' addictive desires themselves are g

You could probably replace "Obesity Drugs" with a lot of other things and the title could stay unchanged.

This is what you love to see -- GLP1s are going to absolutely explode in usage, I thought the first real challenges would come from India with a generic but this also works.

Yup! Ozempic is a GLP1 Receptor Agonist developed by Novo Nordisk!

Well I'm more looking for GLP1 generics developed whole-cloth in India. India is quite good at pharmaceuticals -- their generics basically serve the rest of the world that are priced out of US-made products IIRC. Ex. their generic vers

Well quality of the compounder/pharmacy is the real issue here -- of course it's not that the process itself is flawed, more that it's basically impossible for a layman consumer to inspect/assess quality/safety.

People like Scott Galloway have been saying this for a while, and he's completely right. The research isn't all there quite yet for stopping addiction, but the research definitely points to GLP1's effectiveness at reducing fo

These are some interesting side effects -- I'm not sure I've seen low libido very commonly -- have you noticed any other reports/disclosures of that sort of side effect? Note that GLP1 RAs do decrease hunger, and their effe

There are dangers/risks to buying pharmacy compounded semaglutide -- not really a great thing to recommend widely. It's hard to depend on whatever pharmacy people might be able to find locally or through some hopefully trustworthy

Hey don't worry, your fears are mostly unfounded -- GLP1 Receptor Agonists have been an effective treatment method for type 2 diabetes for a very long time. They're well studied, researched and trialed, at this point, and many s

Wow this should really be getting more press! Awesome result, yet another benefit of GLP-1 drugs
