Obesity is a thing of the past
Novo Nordisk spent a century on insulin, then disrupted themselves with Ozempic. Body composition as a class marker is just getting started.
There are two major broad health issues that effect a ton of people.
– Extra fat: people are bigger than what’s good for their bodies. – Frailty: we live longer than what our body is intended to.
These problems are going away in my lifetime. Here’s why.
Baseline assumption:
What enough people wants and is possible, happens, as long as the same people are willing to pay the costs for it, directly or through taxes.
Baseline implications:
- There will be a pill for muscles (We’re now working on non-androgenic anabolics)
- There will be a pill for fat-loss (We now call it Ozempic)
- There’s an app to make you pretty online (We still call it filters, but AI might change the label)
Predictions:
- Social acceptance of obesity decreases
- Importance of body composition as a social class indicator increases
- Use of cosmetic surgery increases
- SoMe: Being fit becomes expected, not necessarily admired
