That’s the real conversation around retatrutide right now.

In this video, I break down what Eli Lilly is doing behind the scenes, and why this isn’t just about whether retatrutide is better than tirzepatide. This is about strategy. This is about access. And this is about who gets left behind.

• The “two lane” system that could define obesity treatment going forward
• And what this means for patients already struggling to stay on GLP-1 therapies

👇 Let’s talk about it
Have you ever felt stuck between “this is working” and “this isn’t enough”… with no clear path forward?
