There’s this drug Wegovy used for weight lost. It’s an injection. It works. Yesterday daughter, who pays out of pocket for it, was in with her Doctor for a follow up appt discussing her progress with this drug and conversation turned to how expensive it was, and how it’s hard to get insurance coverage for it. (Only certain insurance will pay for it and only when a person is substantially overweight.) The doctor told her drug was expensive because the medical industry doesn’t want people being able to afford it and losing weight as there is more profit in over weight, unhealthy people.

Thanks for the info.
I know a lot of body builders that try to avoid going to the Dr. so they can do monthly blood work. It is partly a hassle to need a primary Dr. to be able to do bloodwork on a monthly basis. But also not needed for many body builders as they are more aware of what is healthy for their body and what they need to change in their diet/routine.
