Obesity is largely(but not entirely) driven by a deficiency of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone in our bodies. GLP-1 agonists trigger the increase of production of this hormone to make it rise to more normal levels.
That may be true for some people. But it’s obvious that is not what is afflicting most people. Americans never used to be this fat. Humans throughout history never used to be fat like this, apart from a relatively small number.

Incorrect. The hormonal imbalance is the root cause driver behind the majority of cases of people with the disease of obesity. Fix the root cause, and the symptoms of the disease subside.

Now, there are compounding issues further down the line. The availability of calorie dense foods has become more and more a driver, but it isn’t the root cause. If patients don’t have the food noise and satiation is achieved with less food intake and faster, the availability of calorie dense foods wouldn’t cause symptoms of the disease of obesity. The regulatory process in the body is the root cause.

I’ll avoid the rabbit holes and keep on point. However, for the record, there are plenty of compounding issues. One of them is our food supply and the lack of financial access to healthy whole foods

Affluent society issues.

Our brains are not static or uniform and are very malleable. In addition to the impact of affluence and availability, our brains get re-wired to bad food. The bad food is literally engineered to do this, and it accomplishes the goal very quickly.
