also in the news in the last couple months was "promising for breast cancer" and another cancer (can't remember, don't care), and depression as well as some other mental health disorder.
If you would like to give me money i would be happy to do the research on what claims have been published about GLP-1 inhibitors since they became prescribed off-label.
I assure you it's more than "many conditions downstream of [...]", unless you want to concede that mental health like depression and dementia are related to gut bacteria, then we can be friends.
also, i caught wind that by December 2025 it's going to be recommended / "proven" to work for erectile dysfunction. At a certain point, we're mincing words.

You have no way to assure that and haven't even made that assertion. Depression and dementia are absolutely related to digestion, gut bacteria (as you mentioned), metabolism, and hormones, all of which are affected by GLP-1s.
Also, if someone starts taking GLP-1's (which has a placebo effect to begin with), loses weight, exercises more, and sees improvement in their diabetes, why wouldn't they also see improvement in their depression?
As someone who saw miraculous cessation of lifelong immune issues on it, saw another friends dramatically improved allergy symptoms, another lifelong smoker finally quit, and other friends generally get in great shape, I actually do believe it’s uniquely good. If even half of the seeming benefits it seems to be showing in early stages right now turn out to be true, it is.
Metformin, insulin, many vaccines, some statins, and some antibiotics are clearly on that list.
