I do actually know some people who've started taking, I guess you can buy it over the counter
00:06
like wagovi and you know whatever, as emphic knockoffs. I think it's terrible personally.
00:10
I think there's like misunderstood risks that are associated with it. Like it can increase
00:16
certain chemicals in your brain that cause anxiety. Like I think it has dangers for mental
00:21
health which aren't really being considered. I did read an article in a national paper at
00:27
the weekend about people, women, women particularly, it seems to be post-menopausal women who have
00:32
been not telling their families they're having weight loss injections. And I think that's
00:36
really sad. And one of the points they made was that actually you're damned if you do and
00:40
you're damned if you don't really. So if you feel you're a bit overweight, you're damned
00:43
because you're not strong enough to manage to lose weight. And we know it's much more
00:47
complicated than that. And if you take injections, then you're damned for that really.
00:52
I don't know anyone who's used them. I'd be really surprised if any of my friends did
00:56
consider that. But yeah, no judgment if that's what people want to do.
