"For the first 38 years of my life, I was overweight - now I'm six stone (38kg) [83 pounds] lighter," Tanya Hall, a Wegovy user who can't get off the drug, told the news organization.

Obviously, there are the expected changes - a squirming new member of the family, of course, probably accompanied by more sleepless nights and a LOT more poop. But I'm curious to know: What are the unexpected ways your life changed once you had kids? Did having a kid change your whole perspective on life?

"I've worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my 2nd pregnancy."
"We conducted an exposome-wide association study, which examines the relationship between a wide range of environmental exposures and health outcomes. The study found significant associations between various modifiable factors and SCA, with lifestyle changes being the most impactful in preventing cases."
