I’m beta testing an app to support GLP users. What many people see as side effects of the medication are actually a side effects of the intention of the medication. muscle loss, skin and hair and GI issues can all be mitigated with intention and supplements
would anyone here on GLP be willing to test it out? it’s free of course
Sure. pm me
I definitely watched the OC as a teenager for the “storyline”…and not Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson, Olivia Wilde…

Grazing on GLP-1s..?? So many easy, safe, and free alternatives to RX poison. GLP-1s are basically unnecessary for the general population, if you have just a little discipline and some basic diet and exercise information, which is all readily available at our fingertips for free. For the folks taking GLP-1s, good luck with that. I feel sorry for you.
That sure sounds like …
Maybe it is. Maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s both.
Perhaps what works for you doesn’t work everyone. No one is perfect so I would hesitate to lecture against what is obviously working for others. I’ve seen people have amazing results on GLP-1 after a lifetime of struggling with their weight and trying everything under the sun. You do realize GLP-1 is produced by the body? The shots just adjust the balance.
All I know is the inevitable class action law suit is gonna be wild
That’s not what is happening.
You know how you test your theory? Look at previous generations. We have all seen the videos and pictures from the 1800’s through the 1980’s. Same genetics, but different inputs and outcomes.
The “we can’t be healthy without an injection” logic fails the test.

I don’t have class. If I use them can I still join the lawsuit.
But it’s mainly based on the data and evidence that is rolling in. Yes, I feel sorry for the user base.
I can’t pull off the bow tie. Would come off as Crossfire era Tucker Carlson.
I’m just being playful. I assume that you know that.
I’m not a Dr. or Scientist. I think skepticism is warranted but I need to stay in my line.
The myostatin inhibitor era will be weird if everyone is walking around jacked as hell despite never going to the gym. Until their enlarged heart gives out I presume.
People lose muscle and bone mass as they age. Protein requirements increase as we age.
GLP-1s show deteriation of what? Muscle and bone mass. This will not end well for many folks. And these are just a few of the current negative side effects we are discussing. There are many others.
I’m not at all well informed on any of this, but a buddy of mine started on them and I asked him if he was concerned about losing muscle mass while on them and the long term problems with that and his response was basically “My doc told me that as long I ate enough protein and lifted weights it would be ok”.
This is a dude who was not really really heavy, but just was skinny all through life without giving a shit about diet/exercise and then hit middle age. If he couldn’t pay attention to diet and exercise before…why the hell would he bank on being able to start now? He eventually stopped em because of blinding headaches, but I’m vey glad he did because there is no way on earth he was gong to be able to follow a regimen that would have prevented muscle loss.
My hunch is this stuff is great for people who need it and is being overused by folks who don’t. I really worry about the long term impacts.
I think that there is some missing nuance in there. What were the health consequences of their current degree of obesity? Was the potential risk profile worth the reward?
Again, this is so far beyond my knowledge base that I don’t want to plant any flags. I just in a general sense tend to fall back on “well that depends…” sort of logic.
This is what I’ve seen as the most widely held viewpoint of physicians. Strength to training is an important counter balance to the known downsides and that there is some potential for mitigating those risks if you work to add muscle.
Long term side effects? 
The muscle loss is not due to the GLP 1. It’s due to the homeostasis of your body reacting to eating less. Your body is going into starvation mode and what does it eat first… Muscle.
