This is a story about a massive dilemma we're all about to face. What if there was a 'magic pill' that could turn off your appetite? Would you take it?
Ozempic and other weight loss injections are predicted to have as much impact on our culture as smartphones.
Johann Hari is a journalist and best-selling author who has been taking Ozempic for more than a year and it's changed his life. For better and for worse. He joins Mia Freedman to talk about weight loss, body image, celebrities, lies, risks and benefits.
His new book is called The Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits And Disturbing Risks of the New WeightLoss Drugs
