Want to share my personal experience related to How is this not covered but my since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 287 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 16 months later: I am down 42 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The How is this not aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

I have cleaned up a few off-topic posts. 👍

How is this not covered is exactly what I've been researching

This is exactly right. JenPlateau articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The How is this not covered aspect is what made the difference for me.
