Ozempic and similar medications are highly in-demand and yet remain deeply controversial. Online conversations about them are often full of misinformation and echo decades of flawed teachings on weight management. So what do we get wrong when we talk about this new wave of weight-loss medications? A lot, it turns out.

Most people can’t magically get more sleep and lose weight in a short time scale

If I am "talking to a doctor" in order to be properly informed and be able to make a decision about my health, and if the doctor treats you like you are one amalgamation of "most people", then what's the point?

Notice I'm not saying "he was wrong for recommending medication", but I am saying that "talk to your doctor" is not really synonym with "best advice for you" - specially in the US where there are so many misaligned incentives.
