> I was skeptical about last year's glowing articles about Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications. Like so many chronically overweight people, I'd seen it all and then some: stimulants, supplements, low-carb, low-fat, intermittent fasting, even laxatives. But these medications are nothing like what I expected. They're not really "weight-loss drugs" at all. They're something far more powerful and surreal: injectable willpower.
This is a really powerful analogy for what GLP1s may be able to effectively do for brains, though it might be reaching a bit.
One thing that this makes me wonder about is the effect of GLP1s on disorders like ADHD[0]
