Prescription weight loss injections are all over the news right now.

People want them, people can't get them, everyone is talking about them.

They seem to work by removing hunger, but what does that really mean?

This episode of Gastropod, we talked to people who've taken these drugs and felt their hunger suddenly disappear.

We also talk to the researchers who are figuring out the science of hunger and fullness,
