What this video covers
- Do you think that every patient should be on, that is classified as obese by the American medical standards, should be offered a medication? - I cannot say 100% of the patients that have obesity- - Large majority. - But the majority would benefit from the drug, yes. - That’s scary because then we’re saying, like, a huge percentage of the United States should be on these medications.

Key points, in the speaker’s own framing
- What’s your take on doctors using the ones that have been FDA approved to be used for type 2 diabetes or related condition as off label strictly for weight loss?
- It becomes part of health, your quality of life, your risk of disease, and it really changes, many times, patients’ perspective towards the drugs.
- 100% I feel like as long as the prescriber feels the comfort, feels comfortable prescribing, managing, and following this patient- - and is responsible with it.
- Where they compound them, basically, to some degree- - It’s compounded, and, I mean, I always question what is it that they’re doing?
- And it’s not enough to read the label because when Consumer Labs and Consumer Reports actually tested the things on the shelves, not, like, got it from somewhere and then tested it.
- What can they do to safely consider these medications or safely consider weight loss?
