The nausea and total aversion Mayim Bialik described after one GLP-1 injection is, per a study of 606,434 veterans, the same mechanism that produces a 40% reduction in overdose events and a 50% reduction in drug-related deaths. WashU and The BMJ call it "drug noise" — a shared craving biology that governs food, alcohol, cocaine, and opioids simultaneously. The side effect and the cure are not separate things.
