who are struggling with postpartum weight gain, or like pregnancy weight gain and not being postpartum, feeling overweight, or people who one of their real anxieties about getting pregnant again is that they gained a huge amount of weight and they don't feel like they're back in their own bodies and they don't want to gain more.

I'm really supportive of people using a GLP-1 for a period of time to help them lose, you know, weight that they gained really suddenly and are having a hard time losing.

There are obviously some people who...

have long histories of eating disorders in their lives, right?

And where you think, I think if you do this, this is not going to be great for you, actually.

Like, I think that this is reigniting a series of obsessions that, like, you've done a lot of work to try to get past.

For those folks, I don't think that they should, you know, entertain the idea of a GLP-1.

But for lots of people, I think it's a fine thing to do.

I know one guy who was taking it so that he would post on Twitter less.

Yeah.

He said so.

And then he's posting a lot recently, so maybe he's off.

I don't know.

I mean, you know, I think, yes, I absolutely have people who, I have a close friend whose primary motivation in trying it was that he wanted to drink less.

He also probably wanted to lose 10 or 15 pounds, but like probably wouldn't have taken it just for that alone.

Yeah.

Asked and I said, yeah, try it.

See how you tolerate.

You know, the other thing is that they just are quite safe.

That doesn't mean that they're safe for everybody to take for 60 years, week after week.
