Everyone's talking about GLP-1s. But do they know how they actually work?

This week on Not All Business, we sit down with Dr. Linda Shapiro Manning, a physician with both an MD and a PhD who has been working in obesity medicine since before GLP-1s were a household name. She was in the room when the first GLP-1 drugs were being developed and has watched them go from a clinical tool to a cultural phenomenon.

Dr. Linda doesn't just explain how these drugs work. She takes on the hard questions: the body positivity backlash, the shame around weight, the rise of compounding pharmacies, and whether society is just trading one quick fix for another.

Key Takeaways:

• How GLP-1s Actually Work (And What They're Really Doing in Your Body)

• Why Hollywood's Use of These Drugs Is Setting Back the Body Positivity Movement

• The Compounding Pharmacy Risk

• Do You Have to Stay on GLP-1s Forever? The Honest Answer

• How GLP-1s May Impact Alcohol, Addiction, and Dopamine-Driven Behaviors
