Lilly’s newly approved obesity pill is another signal that GLP-1s are moving from “trend” to infrastructure. Pills could expand access—if pricing and coverage follow. What’s your take?
Novo gaining ground + Lilly getting an obesity pill approved = the GLP-1 race is now a scale-and-price war, not just a science race.
Quitting GLP-1s isn’t just “stopping a med.” For many, appetite returns + weight regain follows. The real question: what’s your maintenance plan (training, protein, follow-ups) BEFORE you stop?
Hot take: Obesity care keeps failing because we treat it like a 12-week project instead of a chronic condition.
