OZEMPIC - A Miracle Drug? (Diet Culture, Weight Loss, Diabetes, and of course what is does to our Mental Health)

Weight Loss is quite the hot topic right now....but now we have new drugs that are taking on a whole new life for themselves. Ozempic has a hold of the rich and famous....but how can we make sure to use these new "miracle drugs" for the better of humanity. Our favorite neuroscientist David Haggerty shares the FACTS behind Ozempic, Mounjaro, and even some of the brand new drugs that only the best scientists know about. Are they only for those living with Diabetes? Should they be made available to everyone to tackle weight loss and obesity? This and so much more!!!!
