Mused after reading that spiders make both cobwebs and, of course, spider webs. In general, cobwebs are old spider webs that are not used anymore. I wonder if what I take to Goodwill should be considered “cob-shoes and cob-clothes”?
Need an MRI to check your silicone implants for leakage?

NEXT LEVEL OBESITY DRUGS THAT PRESERVE MUSCLE
The most recent studies of the newest generation of obesity drugs, including Lilly’s Retatrutide, are designed to spare much of the muscle breakdown that occurs with GLP-1s. The drugs are being designed to more specifically target fat cells. It may mean slightly less weight loss but retains more muscle. This is particularly important in elderly patients who need it for basics like mobility.
Another obesity drug company, Regeneron, uses a drug alongside a GLP-1. They found that this regimen caused people to lose 2/3-3/4 less thigh muscle than semaglutide alone. This equated to up to 50% less loss of muscle mass.
(Did You Know? Up to 40% of weight loss with GLP-1s can be muscle wasting. Muscle-generating exercise, sufficient protein, and creatine help to minimize this.)
The company Novo Nordisk, which makes Wegovy and Ozempic, is working on a drug, CagriSema, that more specifically targets belly fat. This fat, in and around the organs, leads to a higher risk of heart disease and other health problems.
These attempts to improve GLP-1’s are not just to improve market share, but to measure functional outcomes (besides weight loss) in terms of muscle strength or activity.

SKINCARE SPECIAL:
(I just had this done for the first time. See my thoughts on social media.)
All Packages of Dermapen and RF Microneedling Treatments are 10% off this September and October!
Purchase a package (or packages) in September or October to receive the discount, and schedule your treatments at your convenience. The first 20 patients who purchase a package will also receive a complimentary biocellulose restorative mask following treatment.
What is Dermapen? What is RF Microneedling?
Collagen Induction Therapy stimulates collagen and factors in your skin to tighten, lift, lighten pigmentation, and rejuvenate your face, neck, and chest. We offer two devices for this: Dermapen and Endymed’s 3Deep RadioFrequency. After numbing your skin, both use small needles to stimulate collagen production and decrease pigment cells. Recovery is usually overnight. RF works deeper and uses radio-frequency waves to stimulate collagen further.
