It really starts to break down that stigma that addiction is a problem with you as a whole person.
Addiction is a problem with the brain.
And now we have a really good medication to change, potentially change the brain.
And that's going to change the way that we view addiction.
It's hard to know exactly.
We're entering a really interesting phase of more understanding the gut-brain axis.
There's a lot of communication.
At the end of the day, GLP-1s are naturally made peptides that the body makes.
They're cleaved in different places and bind in different places.
the thing that I focus on is the brain and the brain signaling.
Can I say that's completely in isolation from the stomach and other parts of the body?
No, overwhelmingly.
I think that that's the effect that they have on the brain, the, in that the injections that we're giving patients, it's a synthetic form of the naturally occurring hormone.
It's the re making of that peptide that really kind of changes the volume and changes the playing field.
It's a great question.
That's probably the biggest area that we don't know right now.
I will tell you my favorite expression and analogy for the question that you just asked.
which is that addiction is like there is a record playing in your mind.
That record always ends in drug use.
Something good happens, use drugs.
