With 2024 coming to an end... let's look back at one of the hottest, most polarizing health wellness stories of the year.

Ozempic and similar medications are reshaping the world, akin to the invention of the smartphone. Initially, I wasn’t invested in this “magic” weight-loss wave—until I read Magic Pill by Johann Hari. I had to bring Johann on the show!

Johann, an Ozempic success story, reversed his obesity within a year. What he’s uncovered about the science and real-world effects of this drug is nothing short of shocking.

Let’s address something crucial: Body Positivity. While everyone should love themselves, “health at any size” isn’t scientifically supported. Obesity is harmful—even deadly.

Enter Ozempic, which delivers two transformative benefits:

  1. Dramatically reducing and reversing obesity.
  2. MASSIVELY improving obesity-related health conditions.

The ripple effects of these changes touch everything—from public health to unexpected industries like knee replacements, jet fuel, and even jewelry.

So, how does it work? It’s a shot that introduces GLP-1, a hormone signaling fullness, making it easier to stop overeating. Some studies suggest it even curbs addictive behaviors, reducing reliance on drugs, alcohol, and more.

The idea of a future where obesity and addiction are drastically reduced is tantalizing—but there are risks. Johann shares insights into issues like malnutrition from dosing errors and the psychological challenges of losing food as a coping mechanism.

This is just the beginning. Go back and check out episode 56, where we dove deeper into the risks, ideal candidates, and strategies to tackle obesity at its root.

 What’s Inside:

  • What is ozempic and how does it work?
  • Is ozempic (and similar medications) going to change the world?
  • The impact of reversing obesity on public health and the economy.
  • The astonishing benefits and disturbing risks of Ozempic.


Ozempic and other GLP-1s went from something I was reading about in the news to a drug several people I know personally are using and finding success in. This magic medicine has taken the world by storm and will have a dramatic impact on the years to come. What surprised you most about this new scientific breakthrough? Let me know on Insta!
