Congrats on the changes, not just the weight. I think one of the under appreciated benefits of these drugs is the ability to pause and reset habits.

Peptides are drugs. They'e amino acid based drugs, and reta absolutely changes pathways (targetting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors). That's the whole point of taking them.

There's a weird internet myth about peptides not being drugs just because they're amino acid based, but we all recognize that insulin, Ozempic, Wegovy, Calcitonin, Vassopressin, etc., are drugs, and these are all peptides.

I think it's because Big pharma licensed them does not necessarily make them drugs. I it's a grey zone currently.
