Talking about the side effects is not stigma

There are serious side effects to these inhibitor drugs. Diet is far more effective. It's a dangerous path to go on, it usually degrades muscle mass and skeletal mass at the end of treatment. These drugs can't be persisted forever. Somebody coming off of these drugs absolutely needs to have nutritionally healthy eating habits, and many people are not learning those while they're on the drugs

None of this is stigma, these are all just parts of the treatment evaluation. If somebody chooses to go on these drugs, I support them. I want them to have the best version of themselves they can.

    I'm open to it! @jet@hackertalks.com let me know if you'd like to be made a mod. On that note, I should also clean up the sidebars since some links are now out of date
