This reminded me of a newish drug that is popular with diabetics or people with high blood sugar. These drugs have effects similar to insulin and that they lower sugar levels. But one of its side effects is that it also promotes weight loss. I've heard it is safe for use, but that's why celebrities and the rich are buying most of what's available, and they are always out of stock. People will always want their cake and be able to eat it too. The rich are taking advantage of the latest technology, but for the rest of us, we will have to make do with discipline and hard work.

Yes, they talk about Ozempic-type drugs in the podcast, but I am not there yet.

Not sure how safe it is and once started, it is a "for life" drug apparently.

Have you ever thought which is the better life? When on the deathbed, which is valued more?

Most of the ones I've read says it's very safe. It isn't even insulin, but encourages insulin production in the pancreas. People who should/usually take it are diabetics, and their insulin use is usually for life anyways so there's no difference there. What makes it even better is that it is only once a week, compared to the daily use of insulin.

Those on their deathbed will usually regret what they didn't do. If they worked too hard and neglected their family, they think they should have spent more time with them instead. If they spent too much time with the family and had a normal life, they would think they should have worked harder so they could have provided more for their family and traveled more.

They have only been used in any form for about 10 years - won't really know about long-term effects for another 20 or so.

Remember that the pancreas is pretty fragile and non-replaceable.
The deathbed conversation is more about whether someone is glad they put in the effort, or glad they didn't. We all die.
10 years is already long, and I think modern medicine has been really good at identifying risks and effects. They also check the person's overall health before prescribing it. If there are issues with the pancreas and other related organs then it isn't prescribed.
I think people put in the effort in all sorts of things. If you're asking about effort into exercising and discipline versus using ozempic to do more things they love, I think they will be glad that they took ozempic and got to enjoy their life more.
