#2Ozempic is blowing up on TikTok. Celebs and young people are using it left and right. This is wildly popular and there are resellers and apps popping up everywhere to make it easy to get prescriptions.
"Ozempic face" has become a meme as people try to guess who is using it.
Several of my neighbors are admittedly using it. And they've lost 30, 40+ pounds in a matter of months. Months.
This is a diabetes drug. There has to be a biochemical catch here.

What if there isn't a catch? Sometimes technology really does just improve the human condition with no serious downsides. Consider refrigeration or sanitary surgical techniques.

Ozempic's side effects range from frequent diarrhea to pancreatitis and vision loss. Individuals can consider whether the benefits outweigh the costs. But it isn't free. We might try a Fermi problem to estimate how many of those cheerful Ozempic influencers talk about pancreatitis.

The human body is a massive system of interconnected feedback loops. Tweak one knob, and there are always cascading side effects.
I could entirely see this being a net positive for a lot of people, but I want to know what those side effects are.

The Law of Equivalent Exchange can be dodged, delayed, and ignored for only so long. There may not be a biochemical catch, but we will certainly pay in some other way. Perhaps spiritual, mental, etc.
