I didn’t know what to expect, but they were so good. I love the show. It’s exactly the right mix of spooky and funny, and the writing is so good. I need to get the books.

Sharing your story is so important to balance out the fear-mongering happening around this med. Thank you for sharing it!

It is amazing! A desire for whole foods and energy to exercise. I cannot get over the difference and improvement this medicine has made to my health and my life.

Thank you so much for this! These medicines are truly life-changing, and access to them should not depend on how rich you are or how good your insurance is.

Mounjaro has saved my life. Lowered my blood pressure and A1C. It’s frustrating to see so many articles about Ozempic hands, face, mouth. And now whether I’m human? When my hunger hormones did not match my body’s needs, that’s when they didn’t feel human.

Missed your post when you started-hooray! And, yes, access to these life-changing/saving meds should not depend on whether your employer wants to cover them or if you have enough money.

GLP-1s show me that no amount of diet and exercise could fix the metabolic issue that made maintaining weight after losing it sustainable. The med helps make that maintenance not torture.

If you're attempting to gatekeep these drugs, really ask yourself why you're doing that (and why you're not doing that with any other drugs). Check your weight bias and stigma, because it's helping this admin play to these biases in their anti-science, anti-health policies.

Early research shows that GLP1s also show promise in Alzheimer's pathways: www.nature.com/articles/s43.... They help with chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver disease. Every new study that comes out shows more promise.

They are also FDA-approved for folks who are obese and for folks who are overweight with comorbidities. And they are approved for people with sleep apnea.

The folks saying, well, GLP1s are good, but only for diabetics, well, I'm diabetic, and was obese, and had hyperlipidemia, and high blood pressure. These meds are for me, but...
