I love listening to Jason Fung on YouTube.
This generations phen phen. Sides effects will eventually catch up to reality.
There are some drugs that cannot be dispensed without lab results
By the doctor or the pharmacist?
Iirc labs were requested by MD then after results came in meds were requested by MD then the request and results were faxed to pharmacist.
But the pharmacist gets copies of the actual medication?
Great work
Ping for later
If it was as easy as you claim, friend, no one would be obese...
If you can stay thin this easily, count your blessings...
For quite a few of us, it is not so easy. Who would chose to be fat if being thin was easy? Who in their right mind would ever choose this?
I am “pre-diabetic”, so I’d probably have to go doctor-shopping to benefit from the potential of these new wonder drugs...
“Doctors have wide latitude to prescribe drugs off label for anyone they think may medically benefit,”
Except for ivermectin.
Respectfully, bullshit.
I have been too overweight for too long to believe that.
It is simple mathematics. You eat fewer calories than you burn. You loose weight.
People have no will power, and they rely too much on crappy food.
I have been a type II diabetic for almost a decade. This past year I’ve been able to reduce my meds by about 80%. Another six months and I should be free.
When you are sick of feeling like crap, you will examine what you eat and how active you are. Being obese is an addiction. You need to break it.
Sorry to sound cold and unfeeling. But it’s not complicated. It’s just really hard. It easier to have a bowl of chips out of habit than it is to go for a walk.
It’s not just a matter of going for a walk. For a lot of people, weight loss means exercising two or three times a day—say, weights + running + swimming. Building muscle raises the metabolic rate and indirectly causes fat reduction. There have been times when I was doing all that and I still wasn’t losing weight. But eventually I got it straightened out and lost about 65 pounds. And I have kept off for 25 years. It does take discipline.
The medication request and the labs yes.
Yes.
We have gotten so used to a fad medication to help each little issue we have. God gave us our spirit, soul and body with our own choice what to do with it. He also gave us earth with plants and animals for our nutrition and healing.
I need to loose 12 pounds and have needed to do so for two decades. Two decades of age on my body (!!!) has begun to show that the extra weight is putting pressure on joints and the fat slowing me down..so I am trying to begin Lent with a newness of soul (mind, will and emotion) by filling my spirit with Jesus and beginning the outward change of my body.
Interesting. I think this $1400/month drug is what the Covid.xyz vaxxxxed and boostered crowd can put their weight loss fail in.
An example would be

Thanks, I haven’t read that book, but I think I have seen a talk of his on youtube.
I’ve had periods of a year or two at a time when I follow a carbohydrates restricted diet and get plenty of exercise and that works very well. I get a1c results that are close to normal.
My problem is I love carbs, and do less well when I eat what I love.
I pray for us both, fren. It sounds like we both have difficult journeys ahead of us.
If only these drugs could get into the hands of obese patients without diabetes.
I wonder what % of obese people ARE/are not diabetic.
