Over the past few decades, Jonathan Meyers endured several cycles of gaining, shedding, then regaining weight after attempting Keto, high protein, low fat, and calorie-restrictive diets. “I’ve had success, up and down, but I always regain the weight,” says Meyers, a digital strategist at an environmental nonprofit.
But on Zepbound – the newest GLP-1 agonistdrug to launch – Meyers lost 35 pounds and loves feeling free from hunger. Without what he calls “food noise” – the gnawing compulsion to eat – he consumes less and moves more.

Article Quote: "In other words: Chronic disease requires chronic treatment, no different than kidney disease, or high cholesterol. The new obesity treatments act on the various hormonal and metabolic drivers of obesity."
Big Pharma has moved from treating illnesses like malaria to marketing drugs that require lifelong use for conditions like obesity… where the drugs have side effects that are worse than the condition. The doctors who are in charge of these companies should be ashamed of themselves, they have broken their oaths. The employment of officials at FDA and other organizations that have allowed drugs to be marketed directly to the public and the approval of these questionable drugs need to be terminated. Our society needs to stop this thought process that there is a pill for everything that bothers us. MHO
