Ozempic Revolution: A Boon for Gyms and Health Clubs- Grapevine

Obesity is the biggest killer. Epidemic which has impacted every country. I’m quite bullish on some major breakthroughs in this decade. 

Hope more companies spend more r&d $$s on it. And make it accessible to masses across the world.

Gen Z and Millennials are too harsh on themselves nowadays. Like literally trying to get 0 figure and following keto n protein diet after getting motivation from some reels of so called fitness influencers!

Covid vaccine impact is still under scan and people are doing so without any supervision.

Few days back I replied to a Q on gv, X was asking like should I cut my calories from 2500 to 600 just to reduce weight.

Please be mindful of what u do to ur body and mind.

Om shanti to the departed soul.

In a very chaotic place right now, moving to a new city, away from home for the first time, starting a LDR, nervously excited about the whole thing. 

Want to pick up new things. 
1. News: Shit at knowing what's happening around me. I know it's important but there's so much content everywhere. What few platforms will cover most of it? (PS: GV notifs sometimes do help with GK and starts good conversations :P) 

2. Books: Used to love them, trying to find my way back. Psychology, non fiction recommendations welcome  

3. Fitness: Gym jaana hai! Can show up consistently, just want a good environment, diet also needs work :/ 

4. Upskill: Marketer here. Don't feel like doing this most days, but aise nahi chalega, kaafi zyada hi chill kar lia 🥲

What more can I do?

- Scientists are exploring the potential of obesity drugs to treat various ailments, from alcoholism to Parkinson's disease.
- GLP-1 receptor agonists, a class of weight-loss drugs, show promise in reducing cravings for substances like alcohol and tobacco.
- These drugs may also lower the risk of cardiovascular events, ease sleep apnea, and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.
- Researchers are still trying to understand the mechanisms behind these benefits, which may involve both weight loss and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Despite the excitement, experts caution against viewing these drugs as a universal cure, especially given unknown long-term effects.

Obesity Drugs: Miracle Cure or Overhyped Solution?

Hello guys. I am a fitness and nutrition consultant who is currently employed in fitness first and might be leaving soon given the politics over there and being the only female coach. Is there anyone who has worked with freelance clients or has an idea where to get good freelance clients in gurgaon. I have even taken a few corporate wellness sessions for companies. Looking for some stability. Feel like there's something I am missing on, as I have been 5 years in this industry now. Please suggest

The fitness industry

1. In depth Medical study of female body. 
It is shocking how doctors treat women issues with a contraceptive pill (and it is just not in India). Not their fault, we don't have much data to refer to.

2. Shift focus on Male Contraception.
It makes more sense to remove bullets than move out people.

3. Inflation, poor life standards, lack of choices and pseudo feminists pushed women to earn a living.
While I 100% support financial independence, no one asked for support in household chores. Those are 24X7 jobs, and equally energy draining.
Yes, things are changing. Our generations' couples are well beyond but still needs fixing.

4. Make marriage & kids a choice and not norm or "next in plan" theory.
You want them? Cool!
You don't want them? Cool!

5. Talk about feminine health more.
Do not just write ass long LinkedIn posts dissing period leaves because you have fairly light ones. Also, periods are just one part. There are more steps and goes beyond reproductive age. Specific reasons why are mothers have suddenly been so cranky 

6. Schooling needs recentering.
You put kids in all-boys/girls schools to prevent "young distraction" and when they embrace non-binary relationships, you are upset over not following "culture".

7. Men & women CAN be friends.
Yes, there are higher chances of the relations going beyond or less, but not all opposite genders experience sexual tensions. This is why we aren't animals (most of us aren’t)

Hi folks, 

I'm Aadit, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. We're one of India's fastest growing consumer internet companies and are today present across 10+ cities in the country. 

I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Zepto, my thoughts on the quick commerce space, organization building, amongst other things.

Ask away!

I'm Aadit Palicha, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. Ask me anything!

Hey @Aadit  
I’m @salt  
  
Some questions from my side: 
1. As companies scale there are many diverging opinions on how things should run. How do you ensure that the best ideas drive the company even though they might be in direct conflict with your point of view?  
  
2. What kind of impact have you seen via use of Machine Learning to streamline operational efficiency wrt initial benchmarks? 
  
3. What is the key focus area that you are currently working on? 
  
4. How do you balance creating shareholder value versus customer value?

- Scientists are starting to unravel the secrets behind Ozempic/Wegovy and similar GLP-1 drugs.
- New trial data shows GLP-1 therapy can boost the body’s fat-burning potential, not just reduce appetite.
- The study, conducted in Ireland, involved 30 patients with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea.
- Results indicated that people on liraglutide experienced a significant increase in their ability to burn off visceral fat.
- Researchers emphasize the need for more studies to confirm these findings and explore newer, more effective GLP-1 drugs.
