Our health as a society has been deteriorating for years. More than 70% of people are overweight or obese. Millions of people have diagnosed type 2 diabetes with millions more walking around with insulin resistance. Needless to say, when a “miracle drug” for weight loss comes around in this environment, there’s a good chance that it will catch fire. And so it is with the drugs, Wegovy and Ozempic. The question is, are these drugs truly the miracle they’re being touted to be? Or are they yet another let down? In this episode we dive into the research behind semaglutide to figure out how useful it really is. We talk about:

• How to prevent “Ozempic Butt”

• What semaglutide is and how it reacts in the body

For decades now we’ve been inundated with self-help gurus telling us how happy we need to be. If you go to Amazon and type in “books on happiness” you’ll find 9,000 options to choose from. All of this focus and emphasis on attaining happiness can make you feel like a madman if, in fact, you don’t “feel happy”. But what if we’re trying TOO hard to be happy? What if we’re emphasizing happiness so much that we’re actually more unhappy than we would be otherwise. In this episode we look at the outcomes of 2 studies that show that we are, in fact, too focused on happiness. We talk about:

• How pleasures can be punishments

• What other emotions and feelings we also overemphasize

• The one thing that is causing us to be unhappy

• How to us the power of indifference to bring happiness into your life

• The one question to ask yourself when you’re feeling too emotional

• Much more!
