Welcome to another installment of the Rethinking Wellness link roundup! Twice a month I share a small selection of links from around the internet that are relevant to the conversations we have here, and usually I also offer some quick takes and occasional deeper dives for paid subscribers.

This week, the quick take is about a new diet book that claims to show readers how to get off GLP-1s “without regaining the weight”—and whether there’s really anything new or evidence-based behind it.

Links

Here are some pieces that got me thinking in the past few weeks. I found value in all of these, but links are not endorsements of every single detail in the piece or everything the writer ever wrote.
