I don't think you can call should discipline if it implies a dependence on industry. What concerns me is how people will behave when industry leaves our lives.





I've tried it, as even a low dose gives the person much more willpower to make other life changes, which have nothing to do with the effects of feeling fuller.

Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonists can:

Modulate dopamine release in brain regions associated with reward and motivation, such as the mesolimbic system and nucleus accumbens.

Reduce the rewarding effects of food and possibly other addictive substances, which may explain the increased sense of control or willpower.

Some studies in animals show that semaglutide can alter dopamine metabolism and suppress dopamine-driven behaviors.

If that happened, many many people would die of preventable medical conditions, or starvation, or many other causes. Let's avoid that.

Good luck.
