This result is more modest than the GLP-1 drugs, but meaningful, and in an oral form for people whod rather not inject (or for whom GLP-1s arent a good fit)
This hypothesis was supported in a recent study with a 20-year follow-up, which found chronic low dose exposure to POPs predicted excess adiposity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance among participants without diabetes, in a U-shaped fashion (characteristic of endocrine disruption)
Similarly, introducing a medication like semaglutide at its highest effective dose from the outset can overwhelm your system, leading to uncomfortable and potentially disruptive side effects, particularly gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
