Smells Like Neurodegeneration: GLP-1 Drugs Linked to Taste and Smell Disturbance
In last week’s post, I covered a report on the concerning finding that GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic may cause users to engage in less spontaneous movement and exercise, thus setting them up for weight regain and physical frailty.

As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated:
