Ozempic and the Weight Loss Craze – What You Need to Know First


Listen Later

Welcome to my Summer Throwback Playlist—a handpicked collection of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast. These are listener favorites, packed with insights, laughs, and empowered eating encouragement to keep you fueled all summer long.

A quick heads up: since these are throwbacks, you might hear old references to programs or events that are no longer active—but the heart of each episode still hits. Let’s dive in and revisit the best of the best!

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most talked-about weight loss medications on the market: Ozempic—also known by names like Wegovy and Mounjaro.

You’ve likely seen the buzz: celebrity endorsements, dramatic TikTok before-and-afters, and headlines calling it a “miracle drug.” I’ve had clients take it, ask about it, swear by it, and question it. I’ve also heard from colleagues with very strong opinions on both sides.

So, what’s the truth?

  • What is Ozempic really designed for?

  • How does it work?

  • Does it actually help with weight loss?

  • And most importantly—is it safe?

    I’m sharing a brief overview of the science, my clinical observations, and why this conversation matters—especially in a world where body image, quick fixes, and long-term health often clash.

    ⚠️ Trigger Warning: If you're currently struggling with or recovering from an eating disorder, please listen with care or consider skipping this episode. Ozempic is contraindicated for anyone with a history of eating disorders.

    Want to go deeper? I reference two excellent episodes that continue this conversation: "Science Vs." and "Honestly".
