The Problem with Ozempic - Dr Andres Acosta

“Ozempic has changed the conversation around obesity. Unfortunately a lot of people are misusing the medication.” -Dr Andres Acosta

Dr Andres Acosta is an obesity expert at the Mayo Clinic, and regularly helps patients achieve double digit weight loss thanks to semaglutide, often branded as Ozempic or Wegovy. But as healthy people look to it for a quick fix, he raises a red flag about the drug.

In this episode I ask Andres how Ozempic works, what are its side-effects, and who should actually be taking it. Plus what else works for treating obesity.

Stay tuned to find out:

  • The risks and rewards of Ozempic
  • What’s going on in the brains of people who struggle with their weight
  • How his lab has identified 4 genetic phenotypes causing obesity
  • Where Dr Acosta stands on “body positivity”
  • How his work is destigmatising obesity
  • How close we are to a cure
