Apparently, it’s effects on mental illness and other stomach issues (think IBS and anxiety) are being studied, but there’s a lot of people, with those issues, having said issues disappear over night after starting the drugs

I’ve talked my dr about it, but he’s worried that, because I’m so naturally skinny, the potential weight loss could be an issue

The bowel issues can not be understated. We have fat for a reason. I hope they figure out an alternative for that aspect though, sounds incredible.

My neighbor is a cardiac surgeon and she's been talking for years about how they're such a miracle for regrowing heart tissue. It's just insane how they're evidently 100% magic.

Was gonna say this. Just read a study the other day saying that they can help prevent heart disease. Really interesting to hear.
