> In other words, would a thin, metabolically healthy person benefit from taking semaglutide?

That's what this thread is about; and multiple other studies looking at different diseases/illnesses/addictions. Time will tell. It is currently approved for T2 Diabetes and Obesity.




There's also the intriguing possibility that many other diseases and even addictions have a heretofore-unknown metabolic component. The idea of some addictions -- even to things like heroin or gambling -- being partially metabolic does not seem far-fetched to me.
