The "Hidden" GLP-1 Side Effects Study: What Every Headline Got Wrong

Summary
A new study in Nature Health used AI to scan over 400,000 Reddit posts from 67,000 GLP-1 users and uncovered side effects that aren't on the label. Fox News, CNN, and Medscape ran the same headline: "hidden side effects doctors are missing."
Dr. Clete Barrick, board-certified in internal medicine and obesity medicine, prescribes these medications every day and takes tirzepatide himself. In this episode, he walks through what the University of Pennsylvania researchers actually found, why the methodology matters, and where every headline got it wrong.
You'll hear the truth about the 13% psychiatric symptom finding, why menstrual changes and cold sensitivity aren't "hidden" at all, and the real story buried under the clickbait: the system for catching side effects is broken. Includes counter-data from The Lancet Psychiatry and Nature Medicine showing GLP-1s are associated with lower mental health risk, not higher.
