A short single-speaker excerpt (Dr. Charles Mok) discussing rapid tolerance to weight-loss drugs: bodies can reach a steady state and stop losing weight, prompting prolonged use to maintain weight loss. The speaker raises concerns about withdrawal-related weight regain and the trade-offs of minimizing long-term drug exposure while retaining benefits.

And we're also seeing a rapid tolerance to these drugs where your body stops losing weight, you know, get to a steady state and stop losing weight. So then the drug companies set it up. So now you're on this drug for the rest of your life to keep it off, because they showed if you withdrew the drug, many people would gain the weight back slowly. So how can we mitigate that yet not take this drug long term? Expose ourselves to potentially side effects of long term drug use. You don't want to take more than you need to, but still have the benefit of the drug.
