Two local businesses I frequent (one for baked goods and another for coffee beans) use mailing lists for membership and ordering. Only "drawback", if it even is one, is they rely on word-of-mouth because I had no idea they existed

Good on them. This decision proves they legitimately care about their business and want to see it succeed. I hope others follow their example and realize that selling to Big Tech shouldn't be the default answer.

I, personally, have actually been having pretty good results with berberine (yes, yes, I know its a TikTok trend right now). Its really helped control my hunger and I haven't noticed any side effects.
