On today’s episode of Diet Starts Tomorrow, Emily and Lauren chat about how “the age of ozempic” is affecting plus size influencers and their followers. Some people are taking it; some aren’t and emotions are HIGH. Is it a betrayal if a body positive account starts to lose weight or is it just none of our business? Then, the two review a disturbing new trend where semaglutide companies are targeting fat positivity accounts to take their drugs for ca$h. This is a sensitive subject and we are figuring it out just like you as it happens. Peace and love!
