The Hollywood Weight Loss Wonder Drug

The Hollywood Weight Loss Wonder Drug

The diabetes medication Ozempic has exploded in popularity, particularly amongst those in Hollywood looking to lose a few extra pounds.

Guest: Matthew Schneier, feature writer for New York Magazine.


Host: Lizzie O’Leary
