We initially thought GLP-1s like Ozempic, Tirzapeptide and Retatutride just reduced food cravings. Now, we know they work for alcohol, cocaine, gambling and other addictions too
But do you know what runs on exactly the same circuit?
Falling in love
GLP-1 receptors sit in the exact same brain regions that light up when you’re in love
The insane thing about them is that they don’t just suppress appetite. They suppress wanting in general, including romantic craving another person
Something like 60M+ people are now on anti-desire drugs and it happened in the blink of an eye
I predict in the coming years, we will see people on these drugs be less able to fall in love. We will also see them fall out of love, or be unable to feel it, in relationships that were previously great
If your girlfriend or boyfriend started taking GLP1s and your relationship started failing, there’s a good chance that’s why
