My theory is the excess weight is more of a symptom than the root trigger. Eating too much makes the body work too hard. Frequent and excessive insulin swings, also unhealthy. Lack of movement, also undermines the systems' design. Etc. Etc.

Prevent the body (and mind) from functioning naturally (in an historic / evolutionary sense) and bad tbings happen. Obesity is the cherry on top of the cake of unhealthy diet and lifestyle.

The question is: what happens to Ozempic users over the long term? If you start on it at 18 y/o (or whatever the approved age is) what happens in 5 yrs, 10 yrs, etc. Statins eventually hit the wall so to speak, will these other system-altering drugs do the same?
