A Perfect Storm: The Age Of Ozempic and Plus Size Influencers

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!
