Hey, it's Rachel. This week we were visiting some of our favorite shows from the year,

listening back and hearing what's happened in the time since then. Today, we return to the story

of one married couple's experience with GLP1 drugs and how the use of weight loss medications

like OZempic can impact how people see themselves and their closest

relationships. It's Friday, December 26th. Lisa, I don't think it's an understatement to say that we,

in 2025, are in the middle of this, what feels like kind of a weight loss revolution in the United

States. And of course, we're talking about these drugs that

everybody's probably heard of, OZemPEC, Wee Govi, Monjaro. I think most people know somebody who's

been transformed by them. Maybe a lot of people themselves have actually had some experience with them.

Yeah, it's a revolution in how we look.

It's a revolution in our health.

It's got gigantic potential to help people

who have not been able to be helped before.

The data show that one in eight Americans

has tried one of these drugs.

Like, I have a friend who takes the medicine, and he says, you know,

if you are able to eat just five French fries, and you used to not be able to eat just five French fries,

it gives you grounding in the idea that you can control things in your life that you didn't think you could

control. So what else can you control? Can you control the way you relate to your children,

the way you talk to your boss, the way you talk to your boss.

And what really interested me was this question of how the GLP1 drugs affected a marriage,

especially when one partner is on the drugs and the other partner isn't.
