Ozempic is an appetite suppressant and also slows down digestion. Both make the user feel full and they don't eat so much. There's no medical reason that would prevent people from just continuing to eat less if they were to tritate down.
Yep. It doesn’t work as well for appetite suppression if you are taking it for diabetes. Have two friends who have done it for that for awhile and both are pretty substantially overweight.
I wish it was that simple.... If you spent several billion dollars to develop a medicine you have to figure that cost in addition to what it cost to make it.
Yeah, forehands are pretty much a no go zone for me. Maybe a couple hundred feet but I'm not pushing that motion. Anything over the top is totally out of the quesiton.
RIP range of motion.

That’s lottery $$ for a high school education.
It doesn't fit a popular narrative that obesity is a lack of self control, but these drugs work by going to the receptors the "I am full" signal should normally activate. That would 5o me indicate there is a mechanical problem, not just self control. If it is mechanical, it may well be people have to stay on them for life. So what? If it saves them from diabetes and all the other issues, it is a game changer.
I've read more than one place that at least 1/3 of the medicine sole in Mexico is counterfeit.
that's about when i started. and i can lift like a mother ****er. and i'm not sure it's a good thing. cortez is bitching about his shoulder and honestly i feel like the tin man all too often. and we were lifting back in school and never stopped. i think the tom brady flexibility etc is better than heavy weights. hell lars is bitching about it too. i think at some point it's going to be found that free weights/etc is a strain on your ... everything. yoga and that is probably better
Score me some, Marv. Is this the stuff you have to inject though? I have a phobia of needles. Need a pill.
that's just more weight stuff. i think stretching and natural strength movements are probably better. even mma or like what steven seagal is an 11th degree belt in. where he just does hand jive and summarily dismisses people. the ancient art of bullshito
There are both kinds, though the injection is considered better. I have a friend on it for type 2, he has had big issues since COVID 2 years ago. They had him on the pill version but it didn't help enough so they moved him to the injection.
I hear it compared to bariatric surgery, but much cheaper. What I think will be interesting as time goes on, bariatric actually, about 75%, cured (or put into remission) diabetes. Last I looked, no one knew how. If these drugs can do that at even a 30% rate they will make a huge difference in costs and quality of life.
I was just having a discussion with a guy last night that is on it. He's getting from some compounding apothecary in MA and paying about $400/mo for it.
Not sure you really want to take a pill form of this long-term. Pills have to metabolized by the liver/kidney and I'd be leery of long term damage.
Hmmmmmm
We would have to have a meeting, that includes beer, music and sex, to discuss. Will there be anyone other than us attending?
lol I thought about that this morning, waited all day to work it in somewhere.
Of course there is a mental aspect and I’m not implying that these are not beneficial for plenty. But, to be frank, if you are hooked on a drug, the demand is inelastic. You can’t complain about what is being charged.
Having a lifetime of foreign substance in your body is a choice. But how many realize this when they sign up. More importantly, have they done the lifetime out of pocket cost?
It may still be worth it, but it’s a steep price to pay. That being said, physical health is one of those things that may be worth it.
My main point is that drugs like these are solutions, but don’t solve the underlying issue. It’s like Methadone or Suboxone for substance use disorder. Once someone goes off, they relapse.
I’d like to see medicine focus on actually curing disease instead of alleviating while profiting. But I get it, the economics are far less attractive.
He has an arm like a pitching machine. Like a robot. Crazy to see
Aren't a lot of things inelastic? Gasoline, electricity, water, ISPs? Yet we complain about those prices
Until we, as a society, give up processed food…our health will continue to go in the tank. Food allergies seem to have exploded.
Lard, butter, home canning, purchasing beef and pork directly from the farmer…simple times were more healthy.

Sooooooo good 🤣🤣. You know how much I love trump. He was praying 🤣🤣🤣. Well seagall is an even better trump. I strongly encourage you to watch him take down waves of attackers with the martial art of bullshito while being one hundred pounds overweight. His reality show where he is a deputy in a parish in New Orleans is as fine as anything ever aired on tv
It’s a silly notion. Pharmaceuticals have to do testing in humans, cars, insurance, television do not. Many humans are finally losing weight. I lost mine years ago. It’s critical to be in shape and trained hard period. Cut weight wrestling it stays with you.
So nice to walk down to the pharmacy and get Amoxicillin without a script.
The issue with wresting is once you know how to take a man down you are never again afraid of fighting which is not sensible, but I note all the dominant UFC fighters are wrestlers.
It’s the best base. My pop was a great wrestler. And the strongest guy I’ve ever met. I’m very strong and like all that shit and have wrestler buddies to this day that are slobs and in no where near the shape I’m in but will throw me right down. It’s an unbelievable skill set. I’d never wear a singlet, naturally, but absent that highly recommend it.
Never f with wrestlers
The fact that I know my kid has an ear infection or strep and just needs an antibiotic, which does the job in hours, yet I need to deal with a fvcking doctor, ppw, etc. is nonsense
It's so funny. Been a youtube show for over a decade.
