1450 ET - Americans are struggling to get their hands on branded GLP-1 medications, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. Him and Hers, a health and wellness company, said that nearly 80,000 people have reported they can't get access to the drug, especially those in states where obesity is higher. To address this, Him & Hers introduced a GLP-1 supply tracker, allowing users to share their experiences and push for better access. This move could support the company's case for compounded versions of the drug, which the FDA is reviewing. Shares rise 3.7% to $27.67. (kailyn.rhone@wsj.com; @onlykailyn)
