Yeah, I think it's doing, I would bet 80% of it's in the hypothalamus. It is also improving insulin sensitivity in the periphery, but I don't think that that's accounting for much of its benefit.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
my understanding is that glp1 acts at the level of the brain the hypothalamus to reduce hunger but also at the level of the gut to give the sensation of more gastric distension
it's almost entirely reduced appetite and it's almost entirely incurring at the level of the the brain which neurons it's thought that the key targets of of uh these drugs are neurons in these two regions one's called the nucleus of the solitary tract and the other one's called the area Posta
and there's a similar peptide made in mice and in humans that suppresses appetite — if you would could you tell us — what is known about how glp1 Works to suppress appetite where in the body indor brain sure
if you have a slow metabolism OIC is not going to help because it doesn't incre your increase your metabolic rate it is a very powerful appetite suppressant
