Barbie Drug and Hormone Hijacking

There is a controversial substance nicknamed the Barbie Drug that tricks your brain into starving

itself while turning your skin tan. It works by hacking the hormones that control your weight,

specifically Leptin which says stop eating and Ghrelin which screams feed me.

Normally your body handles energy naturally using insulin to lower blood sugar and glucagon to

raise it, but messing with this balance is exactly how diabetes starts.

Meanwhile, your kidneys are quietly filtering nearly two hundred liters of blood

a day, using ADH to control how much water you keep versus how much you pee out.

One tiny chemical shift changes your entire reality.
