>However there are other tools to supplement with to help learning discipline.

The current FDA guidelines support your assertion that GLP1s should be prescribed in addition to other tools to help people change their eating habits.

What the FDA does not prescribe is moralism, which is what “help learning discipline” tends to imply. If you didn’t intend to frame your argument in terms of moralism, you might consider a different word choice.

Not sure how else to word it. "help people change their habits" vs. discipline to change their habits - what's charged about the word 'discipline'?

In English, we “instill discipline” in children. When we talk to and about adults, we talk about the confluence of factors that influence habits and help people change them. Discipline implies that an adult, who is otherwise fully functioning and subject to the demands of the world, is lacking an essential attribute. Whatever you might feel about this explanation, we already observe from science and medicine that “instilling discipline” on its own has not stalled the obesity epidemic.
