What was said

"I'll never forget the first woman I was working with who told me this, and we were talking about side effects and potential risks, and she just said, 'I'll take all of those risks if I can continue to have the amount of mental space I now have.'"

Dr. Amati described how GLP-1 drugs eliminate persistent, anxiety-inducing thoughts about food that consume patients' mental bandwidth from morning to night, a phenomenon termed 'food noise' that wasn't clinically recognized until these medications revealed its prevalence. She drew parallels between food noise in obesity patients and obsessive thought patterns in eating disorders, positioning these drugs primarily as brain medications rather than cosmetic weight loss tools.
