Eli Lilly sues Empower. Empower's response:

They say limiting patient access isn't good, and they're dedicated to offering these formulations. Strive says Lilly's lawsuit is just Big Pharma protecting profits and that they'll fight it.

Has anyone tried the compounded tirzepatide with added B6, B12, or Glycine? Do they still work the same?

Interesting study that GLP-1s can reduce taste. I've noticed that things taste different on sema.

I don't even care if food tastes worse. I've eaten enough for three lifetimes. I'm happy to lose the enjoyment if it means losing weight.

I've only been on it a short time, but my food preferences have changed. I want unprocessed foods now, and I don't want processed stuff at all. Is that weird?

 

[Hank_2005]

I think food tastes better on GLP-1s. Maybe that study is wrong?

Everything is way too salty now. I don't add any salt to anything anymore.

That's how I feel too! Food was an addiction, and taste was the drug. If I can reduce the pleasure, I can lose more weight.

I saw a story that Denmark's economy is booming because of Ozempic sales. Is that true?

 

[Hank_2005]

Yeah, Denmark's pharma sector is making bank. But I heard their Novo Nordisk stock is way down.

 

[Keto_Log]

We have lots of weight loss drugs now, not just Ozempic. Look at Eli Lilly's stock!

I started hating oil. It's like, I can't even stand the smell of it when people are cooking. Anyone else?
