A drug that claims to cure obesity is taking over the market and people’s minds. Is semaglutide a miracle or a dangerous trap? It was made for diabetics, but now everyone’s using it—without asking what the real price might be. Some say it’s the new radium, once hyped as a cure-all. While celebrities show off their weight loss, scientists keep finding new side effects. So, is it really worth it?

The system "was built to keep us sick and stuck," telehealth company Hims says in a Super Bowl ad (over Childish Gambino's "This Is America"!)

But experts point out that the ad uses criticism of companies "selling weight loss drugs...to then themselves sell weight loss drugs."

🧠 Obesity starts in the brain✨
It's not about belly, legs, or hips—the brain is the key player in the development of obesity. Researchers at the University of Cologne's new Center for Metabolic Research are investigating how signals in the brain lead to uncontrolled weight gain.
Curious about the link between the brain and metabolism? How do diet and genetics influence our weight?

Exercise-mimicking drug sheds weight, boosts muscle activity in mice

"But the new drug, known as SLU-PP-332, doesn’t affect appetite or food intake. Nor does it cause mice to exercise more. Instead, the drug boosts a natural metabolic pathway that typically responds to exercise. In effect, the drug makes the body act like it is training for a marathon, leading to increased energy expenditure and faster metabolism of fat in the body.

“This compound is basically telling skeletal muscle to make the same changes you see during endurance training,” said Thomas Burris, a professor of pharmacy at UF who led the recent research into the new drug.

“When you treat mice with the drug, you can see that their whole body metabolism turns to using fatty acids, which is very similar to what people use when they are fasting or exercising,” Burris added. “And the animals start losing weight.”

Neurons in the hippocampus (of mice, at least) encode memories of food, especially sugary and fatty food. Stimulation of these neurons increased eating, and disabling these neurons reduced eating.

A mouse study found that dietary supplementation with butyrate largely reduced obesity resulting from a high-fat diet. Butyrate was associated with more activity in brown fat and browning of white fat.
