GLP-1s don't work for everyone: Why, and what to do?

Summary: GLP-1 drugs are super popular for weight loss right now. Most people lose 5% to 15% of their weight in a year. But guess what? Up to 20% of people do not lose weight on them. Doctors think genetics might be the reason.

Now, researchers are looking at mixing GLP-1s with another pill called Contrave. GLP-1 makes your stomach feel full, while the other pill stops your brain from craving sugary or fatty comfort foods. Together, they might help people who struggle to lose weight with just one drug.
