That makes a lot of sense. It's a huge bummer though, we need more tools to tackle obesity, beyond the obvious education and access to affordable healthy food and physical activities. I'm curious to read the future studies that come out
I've heard of some interesting progress in a treatment that combined trevogrumab, semaglutide (sp?) and garetosmab. Lots of fat loss, muscle growth, and compared favourably against the usual bodybuilder jabs in terms of their hormonal side effects.
It's not going to lead to perfect solutions soon by any means, but there's progress.
Ozempic is part of this regimen and it's tied to these pancreatitis cases. I think there's a lot of rose coloured glasses right now. We have to see the results of more side effect studies.
