This was reinforced by the observation that diabetes improved when patients were given insulin
Peripherally circulating GLP-1 (143) and some GLP-1RAs, such as liraglutide and semaglutide (145), can readily access the CVOs, including the subfornical organ and the area postrema, which express GLP-1R and have close neuroanatomical connections with hypothalamus involved in forage and satiety control
In other words, stopping insulin might cause a spike in a patients A1C levels, and a person who ceases use of beta blockers for hypertension could see elevated blood pressure
"By and large you have med spas and companies that essentially ship meds to your home without you ever even seeing a clinician." For physicians like Anagawa, it's not about halting GLP-1 access, but about ensuring that mental health isn't treated as an afterthought in the new era of weight loss.
