There’s been growing interest in weight loss injections like Wegovy and Mounjaro, with some claiming they may even reverse or slow down aging. A recent BBC article featured commentary from Professor Harlan Krumholz of Yale University, who clarified that while these medications are revolutionary in treating conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, the notion that they prevent aging is speculative.
Improved cardiovascular health from these medications could potentially slow the aging process, but for now, they should be viewed primarily as treatments for obesity-related conditions. As always, these drugs need to be used under proper medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
