The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Access to effective weight loss treatments shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the wealthy. Companies like eMed are democratizing GLP-1 drugs by helping employers cover costs and offering affordable subscriptions, giving millions a real shot at long-term health. Athlete involvement brings credibility to comprehensive wellness programs that combine medication with expert care and sustainable lifestyle changes.

Establishment-critical narrative

The American economy thrives on a perverse cycle: corporations profit by making people sick, then sell them drugs as the solution. Brady is a prime example of this, pivoting from hawking unhealthy Pizza Hut to peddling weight loss medications — exposing a cynical business model in real time. Weight management is an intimate issue for many, and those dealing with it deserve honest help, not corporate gimmicks.
