In the ‘90s, I was on the front lines of the fen-phen craze—a weight loss drug combo that promised miracles but ended in disaster, with heart complications pulling it from the market.
I saw patients like you—hopeful, desperate, and heartbroken when the “miracle” failed.
I was just like you, watching loved ones struggle with weight gain, feeling powerless as their health declined. “My body just won’t let me lose weight without help,” a patient told me, echoing countless others (Reddit, r/PCOS).
Diets, exercise, and older medications weren’t enough.
Patients would lose 40 pounds, only to regain 60, carrying the shame of being judged as “lazy.”
