It’s not the GLP one that is causing depression. It’s taking the substance of choice away which is food. That is what needs to be addressed is why they are using food as a coping mechanism.

Excited to listen to this one!

[@VernCrisler]

Food is a major part of our lives. We structure our days around meals. Possibly, because the GLP-1s lower a patient's desire for food, he or she no longer feels like going shopping or doing other activities that may involve being around food -- hence depression.

You guys are funny. Thanks for doing these.

I definitely felt like my world turned grey while on Ozempic. I do not feel that way on Zepbound.

I've not had the time to listen to this yet, and I will, but my big concern is with the possibility of liver and/or kidney toxicity.

[@VernCrisler]

The possibility is very low.

[@SAOSIN987]

pretty sure it's fixed depression more then it's caused it.

[@DLTCanner1]

I'd be careful about making a claim like "50% of Americans have been on a GLP-1", a 5 second google search shows anywhere between 12%-15%. I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but be careful about painting broad strokes such as these. Do you have research to back this claim?

I am rarely someone to come and complain on any form of social media, however I have got to communicate this to you. I understand that you receive a tremendous amount of "whataboutisms" , false equivalency arguments that have made you very jaded when having these talks and discussions. I am in the 1-5% of your viewers with no medical background who enjoys what you have to say and don't taint it with ad hoc review of the bad information studies that you frequently reference. This is the third or fourth episode with many of the sarcastic remarks about the prevalence of patients or commenters who try to dismiss the medically sound information you are providing. It's extremely jarring, it's akin to having a conversation with someone who constantly references inside jokes. I'm not here to dismiss your advice or explanation of studies, drug trials, or protocols. Please consider less sarcastic anecdotes about the outside "bro science" that you regularly have to battle
