It’s worth mentioning that we actually did get the holy grail drugs for treating obesity - Ozempic and it’s generic versions…


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 noted, it's not an absolute miracle (there are side effects, it's hard to get right now, somewhat contentious) but it's definitely miraculous in effects so far.


It is a huge step forward, but there still are side effects, just like there are with finasteride.
