ABOUT GLP-1s
There is a lot of information out there regarding the revolutionary medication class called GLP-1s (glucagon like peptide 1 receptor agonists).
These ‘drugs’ are really peptides, a chain of less than 50 amino acids bound together. While the pharmaceutical industry has taken control and monopolized their usage, these peptides have been available even before they became ‘FDA approved’ for the treatment of diabetes.
Ozempic = Wegovy = Semaglutide
Mounjaro = Zepboud = Tirzepatide
The reason that they have different names for ‘different indications’ is so that the drug companies can charge more for the drug when used to treat obesity. It serves to confuse the public and to classify the medical condition of ‘obesity’ as a character flaw or a matter of vanity.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
50 years from now, or sooner, we will look back at the revolution of the GLPs as a sentinel event, similar to the advent of antibiotics in the 1900s.
Their effects go far beyond weight loss. These peptides go directly to receptors that are located throughout the body and we know that when used properly they fundamentally change the body’s metabolic processes and this has profound effects on blood sugar, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, cardiac function, hepatic function, and kidney function just to name a few. The FDA is slow in approving medications despite the VAST AMOUNT OF DATA that supports their use for fatty liver disease, heart failure treatment and prevention, prevention of dementia, treatment of sleep apnea, prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease, prevention and treatment of stroke, and likely treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. This is just the beginning.
These peptides affect mortality, meaning if used correctly for appropriate indications, patients can expect to live longer.
There is so much judgment and misinformation out there. Drug companies are trying to ‘own’ the peptides, similar to their takeover of the naturally occurring peptide, insulin. It is a peptide as well! Drug companies can better formulate the peptide and derive ways to synthesize something that originally was only available from the pancreatic tissue of lab animals. 
The man who discovered insulin did not want to profit of this naturally-ocurring substance that saved lives. The medical history of insulin is fascinating.
“When inventor Frederick Banting discovered insulin in 1923, he refused to put his name on the patent. He felt it was unethical for a doctor to profit from a discovery that would save lives. Banting’s co-inventors, James Collip and Charles Best, sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for a mere $1.” – Vox
Based on a recent study we have learned that the markup for Ozempic is over 15,000%!!!
“A study published this week suggests Americans are paying movie theater popcorn-level markups for Ozempic. A month’s supply of the diabetes and weight loss drug could be produced for less than $5—while it’s currently priced at ~$935 (before insurance), researchers at Yale, King’s College Hospital in London, and Doctors Without Borders found.” – CNBC

REVFIT PARTNERSHIP
