As GLP-1 medications reshape how millions eat, feel, and shop, Friesland Campina and Bolt Insight are pulling back the curtain on what's really happening.

Key Takeaways: 1. Qual at scale reveals what surveys miss: GLP-1 transforms food relationships, not just portions. 2. One drug, four journeys: AI personas expose different behaviours, tensions and opportunities. 3. Local signals, local strategies: winning brands lead with quality, not restriction.
