I’d be interested to see the data for that claim, since I would imagine a strong correlation between glp use and lower body fat.

I’m sure you can just look up the studies, but note that GLP1s are widely prescribed to people without weight issues —— weight loss itself was originally an off-target effect. I have friends who run marathons who are on semaglutide.
