Networth and Chill with Your Rich BFF · How GLP-1s Are Reshaping the Economy and Who's Really Paying for It · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

But what about the other side of that coin? matched

Employers are learning that their hiring bias may be biting them in the butt. matched

One survey of people on GLP-1s found that many were experiencing side effects that were impacting their productivity at work. matched

34% of participants had headaches, 28% nausea, 23% dizziness. matched

You get the picture. matched

Sounds like me in the back of a Tesla. matched

These kinds of symptoms are not going to make you a model employee. matched

And if you wouldn't have been experiencing these issues without the GLP-1, maybe the employer wouldn't be losing money on your decreased productivity that may or may not have resulted if not for their hiring bias. matched

Not to mention, especially in the high intensity hedge fund and Wall Street space, I've even heard a rumor that certain employers are preventing employees from getting on GLP-1s because the same part of the brain that drives the hunger to succeed and work harder and tolerate those long hours is the same part of the brain that is actually impacted by GLP-1s and is also in control of the actual eating and drinking and drinking. matched

habit forming behavior that GLP-1s oftentimes target. matched

So GLP-1s are literally making these high powered, high intensity employees less motivated to do their jobs. matched

And despite the cost and how recently they've come to the market, GLP-1s really have taken the weight loss market by storm. matched

So much so that we're seeing fascinating consumer demand shifts and macroeconomic impact just a few years in. matched

Groceries, of course, have seen quite a change. matched

A Cornell study from 2024 found that an average American household's grocery bill dropped 5.3% within six months of someone starting a GLP-1. matched

That number jumps to over 8% for higher income households. matched

Although across the board, that percentage number will go down over time. matched

Foods typically bought as impulse cravings and impulse purchases. matched

Savory snacks, chips, sweets, baked goods, cookies were the categories that saw the greatest decrease by about 10%. matched

Food companies are noticing the drop in supply and demand, Economics 101. matched
