Can you identify the benefits of GLP1s, or are you being fooled by diet culture? What research is there about GLP1s? And why is this newsletter late? Plus a few links to helpful resources.
I wish more providers would include notes on the potential for anxiety and depression with GLP-1 meds. Docs are cavalier about the mental health impact, but there are groups all over reddit and facebook filled with people struggling. People with diagnosed mental health issues were excluded from studies on the impact of semaglutide and tirzepitide. There is not a large body of peer reviewed data on this. Yet. But I suspect there will be. And it'll be up to smaller providers help people keep themselves well and safe in the meantime. Anyone doing education about the potential impacts should at least mention this.

I have seen that there are multiple impacts on mental health. 👍
