It’s so fascinating that we just keep on finding more positive effects.




They are all downstream from obesity; so it’s obvious from that standpoint since obesity is so dangerous.

Many, but not all. Losing weight through diet and exercise has no effect on alcoholism, for example.


We also like to keep track of all the bad ones too[0] (tl;dr they're actually pretty reasonable).

It's amazing what lowering inflation, reducing body weight can do to the body. It's almost becoming irrelevant that GLP1 Receptor Agonists were originally for type 2 diabetes (i.e. reducing HbA1c) -- the effects are profound. Kidney health, heart health, overall health, longer lives -- all for the low low cost of gastrointestinal problems (which can be serious, especially if dehydrated).
