Behind the scenes of the obesity crisis, a tale of quick fixes, big profits, and the urgent need for real solutions
Hey Team,
Let’s cut right to the chase: We’re being sold a bill of goods with these so-called “miracle” weight loss drugs, GLP-1s.
Big Pharma is raking in billions and they’ve even got Amazon in their pocket for direct-to-doorstep drug delivery. It’s a modern-day gold rush.
Here’s the truth: Our healthcare system is in shambles, obsessed with putting out fires instead of preventing them.
Global obesity rates are through the roof, with a projection that half of Americans will be obese by 2030.
And what’s our grand solution? Pumping people full of drugs like semaglutide, which have seen their sales and prescriptions explode. It’s madness.
This isn’t just about health; it’s a cultural battleground. Oprah and WeightWatchers are on the airwaves telling you obesity is not your fault and that drugs are the answer.
Meanwhile, digital health companies are bombarding us with ads, trying to normalise and push these drugs as the new normal.
But let’s talk about the real impact here.
Sure, GLP-1s might get people moving more and even the fitness industry is seeing dollar signs.
Nutrition companies are scrambling to adapt, pushing healthier options as these drugs cut cravings.
And let’s not even start on the healthcare costs – we’re talking about potentially $1 trillion annually to keep this drug train running.
Mental health is another battlefield. These drugs mess with your brain’s dopamine pathways, promising freedom from food obsession.
Sounds good, right? Wrong.
We’re opening a Pandora’s box of long-term issues. And the results? Most people quit these drugs within a year, often ending up worse than when they started.
The influencers and marketers? They’re not telling you the whole story.
Side effects, the high dropout rate, and the fact that these drugs often don’t work in the long run are conveniently left out of the narrative.
And what’s Big Pharma’s solution? More drugs, of course. They’re working on pills, vaccines, and even more drugs to “solve” the problems created by their first round of meds. It’s a vicious cycle.
And let’s not even start on the issue of childhood obesity. We’re quick to medicate our kids while turning a blind eye to the real problems: poor nutrition, lack of physical activity, and the digital world’s grip on our children’s minds and bodies.
So, here’s the bottom line: GLP-1s are not the magic bullet they’re made out to be.
It’s time we wake up to the realities of our health crisis and start demanding real solutions—not just easyouts offered by a pill.
We need to take responsibility for our health, question the narratives being sold to us, and stand up to Big Pharma’s profit-driven agenda.
Stay strong, stay informed, and never settle for the easy way out.
Best,
Marko
