Obesity Isn’t A Willpower Problem: The Role Of GLP-1s | Dr. Spencer Nadolsky

They're short circuits. They're frayed and fried. And that's why this GLP-1 medicines are so cool, because they seem to recircuit the brain in a way that... And again, it's not necessarily permanent. It recircuits it as long as you're taking the medicines, but it hits the receptors to basically stop the short-circuiting of the brain. So that's the pathophysiology. It's really related to appetite.

Yeah, I always like showing the other side of the coin. There are thin people that do not try to be thin. They're just thin. Are they choosing to be thin? No, they're just thin. They're eating crap. And people are like, yeah, but they just must have a faster metabolism.

Well, if you actually look at them, instead of eating five pieces or a whole piece of pizza, a whole pizza pie, they're maybe eating a slice or two and they're good. And they'll go and smoke their cigarettes and whatever. They're fine. And they'll drink some soda. It doesn't matter. They're not choosing to be thin.

Obesity Isn’t A Willpower Problem: The Role Of GLP-1s | Dr. Spencer Nadolsky

So I think when you start thinking about it in terms of how biology works and how it drives our behavior, and of course, yes, the environment is super important because the environment is what changed over the past however many decades. Our biology didn't change, but the environment changed. then changed our biology once we gained the weight. And I think that's what people don't understand.

And I don't think, they just haven't been able to put themselves in those shoes. And again, the only reason that I kind of understand is because I did that bodybuilding thing and I was like, man, I was ravenous at just like a pretty high amount of calories.

Yeah. So here's what they're going to claim. They have some data that shows people stay at a certain job for however many years. What these places don't want to do is go, all right, we'll put in all the amount of money only for the next insurance to benefit from that medicine. So these are the games these insurances play. If we can figure that out, I mean, I don't know.
