"the catastrophic (but largely invisible) epidemic of chronic illness that is gripping the country." Largely invisible to the blind perhaps. The practice I just retired from sees 180 patients a week. 75% of them are obese. 35% are morbidly obese. Why?
Many have struggled with failed gastric bypass, various weight loss strategies including lifestyle changes like exercise and better food selection, and fad diets. Most patients over 60 are on at least 5-6 prescriptions for cholesterol, sugar management, and high blood pressure.
Despite our focus on physical medicine, decent patient care required we lean in on their metabolic health; when our efforts were successful, they were often able to get off several prescriptions. Those who took the advice and found exercise they could tolerate regularly, discovered it to be the missing tonic no drug could provide. Those who eliminated the massive quantities of processed garbage and sugar, and replaced it with healthy whole foods described feeling more alive than they had for decades.
Here in the US our alphabet agencies are captured by the industries they were to oversee. Media is beholding to its advertisers to lie, distort, and gaslight. Many in Congress only write laws to benefit the insurance, pharmaceutical, and banking industries. The great wasteland of cable television oozes trash and advertisements for drugs--a practice that is illegal in much of the world.
We have a lot to fix, and GLP-1 is just another misdirection.
For my obese friends I recommend watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and doing a 30-60 day Juice "Reboot". We even have the program and recipes in our flash drive of freedom: The Liberator Free at Government-scam.com/liberator
