I’m sure you can just look up the studies, but note that GLP1s are widely prescribed to people without weight issues —— weight loss itself was originally an off-target effect. I have friends who run marathons who are on semaglutide.

Or having a lower % of body fat (within healthy limits) is the factor improving a better immune response?
Generally studies showing off-target effects with GLP1s are at least attempting to control for this.
I’d be interested to see the data for that claim, since I would imagine a strong correlation between glp use and lower body fat.

Because they need to medically or it helps athletically ?

It may be that those without repeated toxic caloric exposure allows the immune system to focus on other aspects.
Is that a thing?
