If you're on Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro — this one's for you.
I went deep on a major New York Times investigation into GLP-1s, and what I found genuinely changed how I think about what these drugs are doing inside my body. Spoiler: it's a lot more than weight loss.
We're talking about:
✅ Why the "satiety hormone" explanation is wrong
✅ How GLP-1s actually work through your BRAIN, not your gut
✅ The inflammation theory that could explain dozens of off-label effects
✅ What researchers say about addiction, brain fog, joint pain, and more
✅ The risks hiding in the gray market and telehealth wild west
✅ What all of this means if you're currently taking a GLP-1
The scientists who invented these drugs admit they don't fully understand how they work yet. One of them asked: if you treated 100 people with concussions, would 35–40% respond... or just 3%? Nobody knows. And millions of us are already in the middle of this experiment.
