Dr. Charles Mok argues that Wegovy and similar obesity drugs are expensive band-aids. When people stopped taking it in one study, about half regained the weight within a year. He says the real fix is changing what Americans eat, not treating weight as a lifelong condition drug companies can profit from.

Chapters

The drug company's modus operandi, or mode of operation, is to get you on a drug for the rest of your life. And what they did in the study, they asked people at the 68 weeks, a certain percentage of people to stop taking it, stop exercising and go back to their old eating habits. And they found that half of them got the weight back in the next year. But then why would we want people to go back to eating an American diet? Well, because a drug company wants to enrich themselves on having you on a drug forever. And their whole method was to treat obesity or overweight like a disease that you have to manage with a drug chronically. And the company makes money every single month. And the cost of this drug is about $1,600 a month. So at first I was not very interested in talking about the Wegovi drug, but I really want to focus on how do we not eat like an American anymore.
