    <title>The Weigh In with Samhita Mukhopadhyay</title>
    <language>en</language>
    <copyright></copyright>
    <description>The honest conversation about weight, health and GLP-1s that nobody's actually having. Not a puff piece, not a panic piece — a weekly show that treats people on these journeys like the smart, complicated adults they are. We'll talk about the science, the side effects, the body politics, the unexpected identity shifts and the shifting relationships: with partners, friends, family and with yourself. No topic off limits. No easy answers.

Hosted by Samhita Mukhopadhyay — author, journalist, and Head of Content and Impact at Weight Watchers. The Weigh In is a Weight Watchers podcast and is not intended as medical advice. Talk to your doctor.</description>

      <title>The GLP-1 Story Everyone's Missing</title>
      <description>Every headline about GLP-1s tells you what the drugs do. Almost none tell you what it's actually like to be on — or off — one.

For episode one, Samhita Mukhopadhyay sits down with Lindsay Peoples, Editor-in-Chief of The Cut, to unpack that gap: the stories the media keeps getting wrong, the ones still waiting to be told, and what it took to publish one of the most talked-about GLP-1 essays of the year.

In this episode:- What the media keeps getting wrong about GLP-1s — and the stories Lindsay wishes existed- Behind some of the most viral GLP-1 pieces published in The Cut- How pop culture quietly sets the rules for what bodies are "supposed" to look like- The unspoken hierarchy of who "deserves" to be on these medications- Lindsay's own health journey, and why she's chosen not to take a GLP-1

Guest: Lindsay Peoples, Editor-in-Chief of The Cut
