There is complex research getting completed on GLP1 effects on ghrelin and leptin receptors and what it means for the body. In a world where ‘just eat less and move more’ doesn’t work for some humans, it is great to see science putting the effort in to support the observations. There will never be a one size fits all approach to managing a human body. There may be more than one factor causing a manifestation of illness. Let’s challenge our GP’s to ensure they check for reasons why someone isn’t well. My heart breaks every time an exhausted, overweight person comes to me and says that their doc told them all their problems are due to being overweight, so just go and exercise and eat less - yet they haven’t done a full blood test, or even asked them what are they actually eating, how much sleep they get, what kind of work they do (physical or sedentary) or how much psychological stress they have in their life.
I am looking forward to a better supported population due to a better understanding of how our human bodies function. Keep asking questions.
