I don’t see many providers in my life that prescribe semaglutide to non-diabetic people who aren’t considered overweight. Social media isn’t real life. Most providers won’t prescribe medications for weight loss unless the BMI supports it. The fact of the matter is that A LOT of people in Canada and US are overweight and with that comes with a slew of health complications that frankly I’d like to mitigate for my patients.
Most health care providers go over risks and benefits prior to initiating any kind of treatment. What the hell are you on about?
If I have an overweight patient who has tried for years to lose weight but can’t sustain it (which is the case for most overweight people) and are at risk for metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications, and I have something that evidence tells me can help with weight management, you bet your ass I’m going to talk about it as an option.
Or would you prefer that fat people remain fat until they develop diabetes (and its various associated complications) before I’m even allowed to discuss semaglutide?
Patients are oftentimes aware of the potential side effects and the rebound weight gain. People don’t jump straight to an expensive injectable drug as the first option for weight management. It’s something that they try after a string of failed attempts by other means.

Memmy and Voyager are both amazing and reminiscent of Apollo. I pretty much switch back and forth between the two because I can’t decide which one I like better. Voyager, being a PWA, has this annoying stutter sometimes with scrolling on iOS. But other than that I think Christian should be proud that his app inspired so many others to model after.
