Dr. Tim Spector

So I think it's the biggest breakthrough in my medical career, and it has the chance to really save – hundreds of millions of lives. So it's not a trivial thing to knock it. I know a lot of doctors and scientists are a bit, you know, black or white on the issue. You know, it's either great or you should avoid it at all costs.

But I think anyone who's a practicing doctor, as I am, realizes the importance and people who can take it regularly, as in these trials over five years, massively reduce their risk of death, heart disease, cancer, even dementia, Parkinson's disease, autoimmune diseases, reduces inflammation. It has effects way beyond even just the weight reduction as well. But the caveat is that so far the

The benefits outweigh the risks for people who are obese, who have a body mass index over 30 or have strong reasons for diabetic control to take it. And it has additional benefits on gambling, drug addiction, smoking, and alcohol. So it's like, wow, this thing does everything, okay? But... Side effect profiles are such that 1 in 1,000 people have serious side effects and end up in hospital.

And quite a few, you know, it varies, but, you know, it's somewhere between 1 in 6 and 1 in 10 will have some side unpleasant side effects that mean that they get vomiting or nausea and quite a few find it hard to keep going. And of course, most of the people in the US are getting it from compound pharmacies or online without any supervision. And

Clearly, if it has the supervision of a nutritional therapist or a sort of health professional, you're going to do much better and still stay on it. So many people are trying it in the U.S. Many people are seeing if they can come off it because it's too expensive, and then they generally fail and have side effects. So that's the sort of playing field.

And there's also a lot of people are taking it who don't really need it. They're just – what I call a little bit chubby, and they just want to look good in the gym in a few weeks. And for those people, I think there is a risk, which we don't really know about yet.

And people should be aware this is quite a drug that really does affect your whole body, and it particularly affects bits of your brain. which is, I think, what you're getting at is it affects the appetite centers in the brain, but that also can affect your addiction centers, which may, as well as good stuff in stopping your smoking and drinking, may just subtly change your personality so that

If, like me, you're a bit of an entrepreneur, you don't mind taking some risks, it's possible that this might just dial it down a bit so that you're not quite the same person personality-wise as you were.
