7 Weeks on Ozempic - When does this start working, Oprah!?

Eight weeks in, Charlene hits a huge weight milestone while Jon… hits a wall. In this episode, we unpack the emotional highs and lows of our Ozempic experience so far. From awkward social moments and unintended marital tension to the science behind plateauing and what might happen next, we're keeping it real.

Charlene opens up about feeling cold, skipping meals, and navigating concern from her husband. Jon explores what the data (and ChatGPT) says about when weight loss actually kicks in—and why it might not be showing on the scale just yet. Plus, a viral Oprah quote reminds us all: thin people aren’t stronger… they’re just not thinking about food 24/7.
