For anybody who has an obese patient that's really struggled, look past the idea of them not trying to consider the possibility that there's more to it. And even for doctors who are not obesity specialists and who have not previously prescribed weight loss medications, this is different. This is a new era.
The results and the safety are just unprecedented. So look outside your comfort zone because we can make a huge impact on patients, and if we advocate for them and speak loudly, I think insurance companies will start to see the value, and we can get more patients down to their ideal body weight and living their best life.
