Demand has skyrocketed for the diabetes and obesity treatment Ozempic as many social media influencers and celebrities are suspected of using the drug as a quick fix for weight loss. As a result, patients taking the injection for its intended purpose are having trouble filling their prescriptions. And all the focus on celebrity weight loss is reflecting in broader cultural perceptions of weight and beauty. Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, a physician of obesity medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Kelsey Weekman, a reporter at Buzzfeed News, spoke to Crystal Haynes about how the drug works, the health risks it carries, and implications it has for the body positivity movement.
