Beyond the Scale: The Ozempic Effect

Episode 1: The Rise of Ozempic


Listen Later

Where did drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro come from? In this premiere episode of Beyond the Scale: The Ozempic Effect, hosts Terry Turner and Christian Simmons trace the surprising origins of GLP-1 medications — from a hormone found in Gila monster venom to one of the most talked-about drug classes in the world. 


Joined by clinical pharmacists Dr. Lauren Cunningham and Dr. Elizabeth Van Dril, they explore how GLP-1 drugs revolutionized diabetes treatment and reshaped the way we manage obesity. Dr. William Hsu, a former Harvard diabetes expert, explains why GLP-1s were a game changer. And Dr. Ashley Dwyer, a fitness coach and former pharmacist, offers a cautionary take on the social media frenzy and side effects driving headlines. 


Discover the science, history and unexpected rise of these powerful medications and how they’re changing lives and stirring controversy.
