Stop a statin and your LDL cholesterol rises 30% in four days. Nobody writes a WSJ feature about it. Stop certain blood pressure medications and your BP can spike within hours. Nobody calls it a design flaw.

Levothyroxine, antidepressants, insulin, metformin, antihistamines. Chronic treatments for chronic conditions, and all of them stop working when you stop taking them. None of them generate think-pieces questioning whether patients should have started.

The AMA classified obesity as a disease in 2013. Thirteen years later, it’s still the only chronic condition where “you have to take it forever” is framed as an argument against treatment rather than a description of how medicine works.

GLP-1 drugs are the first intervention ever to make a dent in the rising obesity rate. "Do it naturally" just means do it not at all

It’s true; in order to keep weight off with GLP-1s you have to keep taking them, as opposed to diet and exercise, which you only have to do once
