We don't know how to treat obesity 100% though

GLP-1s are remarkably effective.

  • Absolutely true, but it seems there is a lot of reluctancy in prescribing them

    • I'm not sure that's true? Insurance is hesitant to cover their expense for less extreme cases, and they're very expensive. But I haven't heard of prescribing being a real bottleneck. They're not controlled substances and the side effect profile is pretty mild (other than price).
