Thank you Dr. Gregar. I was considering Zepbound for sleep apnea. With family history of pancreatic cancer and after listening to your GLP-1 lectures, there’s no way. Wfpb ftw!
My GF almost had to go to the hospital for pancreatitis. She was taking zepbound for a few weeks and already wasn’t feeling good…. At the last second decided not to take the shot again. Thank god she didn’t. Our GP told us what was up.
Thanks Dr G. 👍

they cause pancreatitis because they cause gaulstones, due to rapid weight loss.
Fantastic analysis and much appreciated
I thought an old documentary on laetrile was a great example of how pharmaceutical companies hide what they don’t want seen.
