E57: Low Rise Satanic Clothing

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.    REMINDER: While Garet is on maternity leave, ALL patreon subscribers get access to ad free episodes so sign up now as an Anklet or Limbo Champion to get the ad free version of this and every episode that comes out while Garet is OOO by going to www.patreon.com/thebarisanklehigh   Don't forget to follow us on IG @thebarisanklehigh because we are still having our weekly episode title poll giveaways that get posted to our stories every Tuesday (open to our international listeners, too!)   Sources: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-023-00816-9 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2032183 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2206038?query=recirc_mostViewed_railB_article https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2301972?query=recirc_mostViewed_railB_article
