Episode Details

Eli Lilly is testing a new GLP-1 called brenipatide in phase three trials, and weight loss isn't even the main focus, researchers are watching it for alcohol use disorder, opioid addiction, bipolar disorder, and IBS. Chalene Johnson also breaks down a new Yale University study on why the hunger hormones ghrelin and leptin roar back the moment someone stops taking a GLP-1.

Then Chalene calls out an Instagram account called Baddie Bethany (also posting as Baddie Betty on Facebook), nearly a million followers and Instagram is rolling out a brand new AI content label. She also flags an AI "Dr. Chen" wellness account blending real health facts with false ones to earn trust.

Plus, five new health devices she's watching, including a toilet sensor called Throne, an AI skin scanner called SkinBit, and a caregiving wearable from the founders of Fitbit.
