First time I’ve seen the full pipeline laid out—thanks for sharing, really encouraging. Still, I’m biased. On one hand, I invest in some of these companies. On the other, I’m in the trenches—coaching, parenting, and fighting to prevent the very diseases that fuel their growth. It’s a strange position to be in, but the reality is clear: there’s financial upside in people not planning ahead—which is why, since 2008-2009, I’ve consistently invested in some of these companies while doing my best to help people avoid needing them. Two realities. One truth: Long-term thinking always wins.

I am very much with you on those points. Good, sustainable daily habits is the best prevention against child and adult obesity so it very much starts with ourselves as parents and guardians of our health.

What is starting to emerge is that people on these drugs are changing their consumption behaviors which is impacting food companies, so this might lead to a change in how food products are made, less sugar, less ultra processed.

My hope is also that we will also look back at this and see it as a necessary step to get even better medicines for both Alzheimer’s and some types of cancer, while significantly reducing the Obesity epidemic along the way.
