DIY GLP-1s and weight loss cops?

Not sure if everyone's seen this already. I read a bunch about this Tennessee case when it happened, but I somehow missed this news report from NBC. Thought it was interesting.

1. She was buying the powdered form and mixing it herself.
2. It's hard to make out, but I think the officer said she was prepping syringes.
3. I can't help but notice that every officer in the video is overweight, but the woman isn't.
4. The cops mentioned making undercover purchases (but they obviously didn't use the meds, lol)

I realize she probably broke the law, but it seems like a ridiculous overreaction by people who could benefit from what she was selling.

I vaguely knew this woman. The local coverage mentioned she owned a medical spa where she was selling the stuff.
 
And I’m wondering if the med spa owner actually believed it was real if she was getting such low prices from the Tennessee woman

Even if she was charging the med spa more than individual customers, her prices had to be way lower than the legitimate suppliers the med spa would have used. They had to know something wasn't right!
 
Don't some of these med spas just advertise 'weight loss shots' without saying what's in them? They just order and do exactly what we do, but charge a fortune for it.
 
I saw a report indicating that it only costs about $5 to produce these medications. It's crazy how much they're charging us! Novo Nordisk is definitely making bank. I saw in a reddit thread that Denmark even publishes a GDP both with and without including Novo Nordisk.

While the actual drug might be cheap to make, you also have to factor in the research and development costs. Plus, there's the auto-injector to consider. It's not just the medication itself.
 
I've noticed my taste buds have changed since starting my GLP-1. I don't crave the same foods I used to. It's like my brain is finally catching up with my body.
 
Seven months and 87.7 pounds down. Started at 283 and I'm at 195.3 now. If I hadn't slowed it down myself, would've lost more. Hit the gym hard, put on good muscle, best shape I've ever been in. Been lifting since my early twenties so that helped. Had to pump the brakes on weight loss to keep my strength up.
 
Here's the real talk everyone needs to hear: some people don't need gym time or therapy or strict diets. They just need this medication. That's it. You take your shot once a week and you manage it like any other health condition. It's not some moral failing or lack of willpower. It's actually that simple. I'm living proof because my whole story fits in one sentence: I take a shot and my weight stays down. Done.
 
Read through the full paper - found the same thing with dual and triple peptide combos still showing significant lean mass loss. When sedentary folks take these meds without changing habits, lean body loss is predictable. Might push people toward strength training and higher protein. Included a screenshot showing unknowns the researchers flagged.
