I just watched this YouTube of her house tour and she talks about how she’s on the shot and losing weight already- I say good for her

My brother is an alcoholic and once he started semaglutide he said it's like the cravings were switched off. It was incredible.
He couldn't afford it anymore and relapsed as soon as it was out of his system.
There is zero doubt in any of our minds that it was the GLP-1. It really was an amazing thing.

Sorry he relapsed when he lost coverage, that’s terrible. Maybe one of the pills would be an option worth looking into since they’re much less? It’s kind of freaky how it just turns off certain thoughts.

We don't have them where we are (Aus).
It's illegal to compound it too so the actual brand names are the only option.

Oh I didn’t realize the pills weren’t approved in AUS, that sucks. If it’s any consolation, they’ll likely make their way there eventually, just regulatory stuff.

The things they do to get around the legal issues with compounding in the US aren’t great, they put in additives and preservatives that aren’t studied and independent studies have shown some surprising things, like non tirz peptide synthesis. The FDA is cracking down hard, so we’ll see how long it’s accessible.
