GLP 1 medications are everywhere, and most conversations swing between hype and shame. This episode slows it all down.

We cover what GLP 1 actually is (a natural satiety and blood sugar hormone), how GLP 1 medications work in the gut and brain, what the research shows so far, and what it still does not answer.
