I think Ozempic is a treatment of a symptom but not the underlying condition, but unlike many of the posters here, I do not think the underlying condition is "obesity". The below is mostly speculation.
Research especially into people with healthy body weight seems to indicate that there is something going on that is causing widespread obesity. That is, there's some sort of environmental "GLP-1 Turbocharger".
Maybe it relates to processed food, maybe it relates to microplastic contamination, maybe it's in the cheese, maybe it's an innocuous viral agent, maybe it's gut biome, maybe it's ADHD drugs, maybe it's SSRIs.
I suspect that Ozempic is helping us get back to a baseline level of exposure by counteracting this. And in the future if we're lucky we'll figure out what it is and try to correct it at the source.
