    > I asked Nicole Avena, a professor of neuroscience at Mount Sinai who studies sugar addiction, if she believed it could be possible for food companies to engineer, intentionally or not, compounds that would make GLP-1 drugs less effective. Avena told me it was plausible.

    Never really thought about this before. The food industry is a virus and current weight loss drugs are the best vaccine we have, but it'll forever be an arms race.

    As a skinny guy in the US, is there a way that I can get an GLP-1 prescription?

    I want to see if it will decrease compulsions - substance use and trichotillomania.
