I don't see many providers in my life that prescribe semaglutide to non-diabetic people who aren't considered overweight. Social media isn't real life. Most providers won't prescribe medications for weight loss unless the BMI supports it. The fact of the matter is that A LOT of people in Canada and US are overweight and with that comes with a slew of health complications that frankly I'd like to mitigate for my patients.

fwiw my cardiologist suggested i get my GP to prescribe it. I'm going to pass tho as I'm not diabetic.
