E57: Low Rise Satanic Clothing

The Bar is Ankle High

CONTENT WARNING: This episode will be discussing different dieting experiences, specific calorie counts, weights, and other weight-related topics.

We are back with week 2 of our Obesity Brain series where Katie teaches us allllll about Ozempic and similar medications. GLP-1 medications have been in the news a LOT lately and we are finally breaking down what those medications and how they target the nutrient-stimulated hormones in your gut and brain to regulate how much you eat. It's not about laziness, it's not about a personal failing, it's not because you're a bad person - it's just your brain! This episode has lots of crazy science words in it but we get through it pretty good we think! Whole body science and health becoming popular in the media has helped boost this information's availability but we hope that this episode makes you feel less alone if this is something you're going through and makes you feel confident to ask your doctor about these medications if you have been nervous about exploring your options.
