Weight Loss

Research and reporting on weight, metabolism, and GLP-1 medications in women.

GLP-1 drugs changed the weight loss conversation overnight, but most of the clinical data comes from trials that were majority male. Women respond differently — they lose more weight, face different side effect profiles, and deal with a distinct layer of social scrutiny that men don't. Maternie covers weight and metabolic health through a women's health lens: what the evidence shows, what it's missing, and how the economics and stigma of weight loss intersect with the science.
