You can't have failed to notice the conversation around weight loss drugs such as Ozempic but are they a wonder drug or should we approach them with extreme caution? Johann Hari joins me in an upcoming episode to talk about the years of extensive research he's done into this drug, as well as taking it himself, and what we need to know about this magic pill.

Trailer | Johann Hari -- the truth about Ozempic.

This episode was originally published in March 2023. One of the great privileges of creating this podcast is getting to see the world through the lens of other people’s experiences. Seeing the world through Sabrina’s eyes was utterly enthralling. She experienced homelessness in her teens, now holds one of the most senior positions in the Fire Brigade and has multiple qualifications making her an expert leading international expert on risk-critical decision-making in crises. I ask all my guests, ‘What’s your relationship like with risk?’ and as someone whose day job involves dealing with something as unpredictable as fire, Sabrina’s answers are a perspective I hadn’t heard before.  What an incredible guest, and now friend, whose primary mission in life is to pay it forward. Sabrina’s book The Gender Bias is available now. To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum. To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.

Bullet Points | The Tortured Podcasters Department

One thing about interviewing psychotherapists is how tempting it can be to open up about the things that I am personally struggling with, or have struggled with. It’s not something I intended to do but in navigating Anna Mathur’s life lessons we stumbled upon the territory of people pleasing and, well, that was it. Both of us have found ourselves crippled by the effects of people pleasing and these have shown up in Anna’s life in ways that have had a huge impact.  I always open the show by asking my guests what their relationship with risk is like and it’s interesting that a big risk for Anna, and me, was to put ourselves first. If you’re afflicted with the disease to please then this episode is definitely for you. Anna’s books are available now.
