Would you take a so called 'miracle' weight loss drug if you could?
from Matt Heath & Tyler Adams Afternoons · host Newstalk ZB
A 'miracle' weight loss drug called Ozempic has set TikTok on fire with celebrities including Jeremy Clarkson & Kim Kardashian taking it. It is given as an injection straight into the stomach, thigh or upper arm. It suppresses hunger by mimicking an appetite-regulating hormone, leaving users feeling fuller for longer. But obesitry experts warn it is not a magic bullet and may trigger unpleasant side effects, from nausea and diarrhoea to pancreatitis and gallbladder problems. Simon Barnett and James Daniels spoke with Bariatric Surgeon Richard Babor about the drug and it's place in the weight loss puzzle. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
