Don't dismiss the most important question -- does semaglutide really have any effects outside its current intended use for diabetes and weight loss?
In other words, would a thin, metabolically healthy person benefit from taking semaglutide?
So far, all of the wonderful benefits from taking the drug seem to be explainable by reduced caloric intake / weight loss / better glucose control in overweight and/or diabetic people.

- jewayne 2y agoThere's also the intriguing possibility that many other diseases and even addictions have a heretofore-unknown metabolic component. The idea of some addictions -- even to things like heroin or gambling -- being partially metabolic does not seem far-fetched to me.
