I recently was told by my doctor to get on one of these GLP1 medications and was doing some research on it, any thoughts on the point of view of this doctor?

well he is completely wrong say there is no long term safety data
1) this is a peptide and just replacing what your body already produces and is not some new chemical into your body. Similar to testosterone replacement
2) we have been investigating these medicines since atleast the early 80s and they have been approved and in use for diabetes since 2005. so we have almost 20 years of data on the safety of these medicines
many doctors are going to tell you not to take the medicine based on them wanting to sell something or them being scared of it because they dont understand it etc
also many are going to do the opposite, they make money off it so they push it and push higher doses than needed based on patient progress.
understand doctors are some of the smartest people in the world, but they also run a business and sometimes those two things can get crossed
my suggestion is...do your own research, talk to your doctor on why he wants you to go on it, discuss any questions you may have with him
we can help you here for a lot of these things and point you in the direction but in the end this is a decision you have to make with the help of your doctor
also understand these are miracle drugs but they work the good ole fashion way in making you not hungry making you burn more than you take in
anytime that happens you are at risk for losing muscle, this is why calorie counting and protein are so important and why lifting weights progressively and getting stronger is so damn important.
