And Lena, when you mentioned we'd be diving into the safety and efficacy of Mounjaro and these other weight loss medications, I immediately thought-this is exactly the kind of conversation our listeners need right now. These drugs are literally reshaping how we think about obesity treatment.

    0:26

    Lena: Right? It's like we're witnessing this pharmaceutical revolution happening in real time. So today we're really going to unpack what the research tells us about how effective these medications actually are, and more importantly, what we need to know about their safety profiles.
