Ready Player GLP-1

I’ve been taking a GLP-1 to combat high blood sugar for quite a while. A few months ago, I was in a room where, one by one, some fellow injectors explained how the use of the drug had instantly and completely turned off their food noise — the constant, intrusive, persistent thoughts about food. As each person offered their near religious testimony, I fingered the collar of the custom t-shirt I made for the occasion, and one thought entered my mind: Pesto Pasta and Garlic Bread. And that thought stayed in my head throughout the discussion, and beyond. I’m thinking about Pesto Pasta right now. There’s no doubt that the GLP-1 has had an impact on the amount I eat and the levels of glucose in my blood, but apparently, it’s no match for my perpetual and thunderous food noise. I like to view this as evidence of superior mental strength. Whatever it is, I am definitely in the minority. And GLP-1s aren’t just turning off food noise. For many, they’re a miracle mute button that can turn off cigarette noise, alcohol noise, opioid noise, gambling noise, and more. Much more. GLP‑1 drugs may fight addiction across every major substance, according to a study of 600,000 people. This news has me thinking that maybe I should up my dose. It also has me thinking about sesame noodles, dim sum, a fresh, soft and still warm everything bagel, mint-chip ice cream, and PB&J spread across the entirety of a loaf of sourdough.
