About this episode

What happened to our food, our bodies, and our ability to stop eating — and who's responsible? Writer and journalist Johann Hari tracked down the scientists who discovered GLP-1, and traveled the world investigating the food system that was engineered to override our satiety signals. Here, Hari discusses his personal journey on a GLP-1—from losing food as a coping mechanism to embracing self-compassion in a world that says weight loss should involve punishment.
