S4, E5: Ozempic and Weight Loss Drugs - Miracle Cure or Risky Business

With millions of people worldwide experiencing poor health linked to obesity, the quest for fat loss is endless and the numbers impacted ever growing. From fad diets and fasting to gruelling detox retreats, there is no end to what lengths people will go to to shed body fat.

You would have to have been living under a rock to be unaware of the recent emergence of Ozempic and similar drugs that appear to promise the “magic solution” to weight loss with seemingly no strings attached. But is this actually a miracle drug or do the potential side effects and unknown impact of long-term use give cause for concern?

And perhaps there is an even bigger question to ask; how did we get to this point in history when the only conceivable solution to a worldwide obesity epidemic is to rely on an injectable drug?

As we stand on the brink of what could be a medical revolution, we wanted to provide a balanced discussion on the emotional and cultural landscape behind this complex topic, without trivialising or stigmatising.

And as PTs endeavouring to help people improve their health outcomes in an obesogenic environment, you will hear how conflicted we both are about this entire field, see-sawing between support and scepticism.

Buckle in!
