Short YouTube conversation (October 16, 2025) featuring Robert Whitfield MD and another speaker about an obesity drug that appears to alter patient behavior.

This is just like, I sat back one day and I was like, oh, my God. A drug that changes behavior but in the correct way, as far as I'm concerned, has never been brought to market with this kind of clear side effect.

This is something that builds over a lifetime. And your behavioral choices, you get stuck. You don't want to change it. So what had, you know, bad habits continue to build. So now we have such a large population size of people using it who have similar tendencies and habits. Now you're going to start seeing both the positives and negatives. Yeah.
Just amazing to sit back as a. You know, you look at it like, wow, that's gonna have a lot. I mean, it's probably in 10 years, if we have a little show and say, what had the most impact? BLB1 and Agonist. They. They changed everything. Because ultimately, when you change behavior, the outcome.
