## Resource

This week, Chloe takes us on a beautiful and meandering adventure through the world of GLP-1s. We discuss how these medications are disproportionately prescribed and utilized by people with more financial means, how they are being marketed toward adolescents, and how we could do better as a society to increase overall health. Most importantly, we talk about Annie’s inflammatory Tik Tok career and misogynistic men on the internet.
