Mamdani Goes to Washington; GLP-1: Micro Dose, Major Buzz

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is heading to Washington, D.C., on Friday for a face-to-face with President Donald Trump, an unlikely matchup after months of trading insults. NBC News reporter Allan Smith joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to break down what’s at stake and whether this meeting is about policy or pure political theater. And we’re digging into the latest wellness whisper: microdosing GLP-1s. You’ve heard celebrities like Andy Cohen and Rebel Wilson talk about it. Now, everyday users are trying tiny doses of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy for “appetite tuning” and weight control. Telehealth companies like Noom and Ro are helping fuel the trend by making access easy. NBC News correspondent Anne Thompson joins the pod after speaking with someone who’s doing it.
