About two years ago, Henry, who is 6ft 3in, weighed 210lb, which meant he was only slightly overweight(超重的), according to(根据,按照) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention body mass index.
大约两年前,身高6英尺3英寸的亨利体重210磅,根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的身体质量指数,这意味着他只是略微超重。
Still, the thirtysomething(三十多岁的人) who lives in the Pacific north-west had hypertension(高血压), sleep apnea(睡眠呼吸暂停) and body image issues(身体形象问题), so he started taking the weight-loss drug Ozempic. While he dropped pounds, he experienced constipation, a common side-effect, so he wanted to try retatrutide, another peptide(肽) which not only target(靶向,以……为目标)s GLP-1 but two other hormone receptor(受体)s as well.

He had read about it in the news and on Reddit forum(论坛)s.
