I hope you will emphatically address RFK's plan to either withdraw approval for Ozempic etc. (illegal, sure, but that doesn't stop the Magats) or limit/cancel Medicare/Medicaid coverage for them.

What do you think of the suggestion that there may be damage to optic nerves?

I’ve heard that some people feel less motivation, less joy or have slight negative mood changes on these meds. Is there research being done about this now and research about possible dose adjustments to help? Also, I’ve heard these meds can disrupt menstrual cycles. Any research related to menstrual cycles and the birth control pill while on these meds?

1) Anecdotally I’m hearing about patients developing gallbladder issues. Anything they can do while on medication to low that risk?

2) many patients have lost weight on compound semaglutide. As insurance and access eases on wegovy/zepbound, many no longer qualify by BMI. But they need the drug to keep the weight off. What’s going to happen to these patients?

3) should glp-1 be used off label to treat addiction?
