Weight loss + thyroid hormone
Since thyroid homones can speed metabolism and cause a weight loss.

Since Beta blocker will inhibit the conversion of t 4 to t3, this seems like a plausible weight loss strategy.

If it worked and was even remotely safe someone would have marketed it in a combo pill ages ago LOL
