Curious- how does it affect your mood? Or do you mean indirectly just because you lost weight?

Apparently gut hormones are connected to serotonin, so these meds can act like SSRIs!

95% of serotonin is produced in the gut.

If you cure your gut dysbiosis by ditching sugar, ultra processed foods, excess alcohol and seed oils mass quantities of saturated animal fats and instead feeding your gut bacteria lots of fibrous plant foods, your gut bacteria will crank out short chain fatty acids that are cancer preventative and critical to overall good health and the gut will also make lots of serotonin.

The weight loss drugs are a tool to lose weight and for the obese that can be a lifesaver - but long term nothing beats cultivating a healthy gut via a healthy diet which isn’t about the number of calories but entirely about eating real food instead of food products.

I’m obese and my doctor won’t prescribe Ozempic because I don’t have any diseases yet and it’s on back order.
