(Pre-order Lee's upcoming book Uncover Up: How to Think Clearly in an Age of Conspiracies here.) On Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday, therapist and social worker Gary Direnfeld frankly discusses how to manage a poor work-life balance while reducing the impact it has on your family. Former president of the Ontario Medical Association Dr. Sohail Gandhi describes the benefits and side effects of GLP-1 drugs, sexual and otherwise. For the ambiguously named Vet Talk or Pet Talk, veterinarian Dr. Cliff Redford covers the following stories: Japanese macaques actively explore video games prioritizing curiosity; Self‑destructive behavior among Hermann's tortoises on a Macedonian island is leading to their decline; and How to protect pets from the New World screwworm. David and Cliff weigh in on a dilemma of a woman whose husband refuses to let her get a new cat. Clinical psychology researcher Alexandra Liepmann outlines the link between how couples divide household chores and women's sexual desire.
