Ozempic. Wegovy. Mounjaro. A few years ago, these were diabetes medications. Today, they’re the hottest weight loss trend on the planet.
I understand the pull. After decades of failed diets and shame spirals, someone hands you a needle and says, “This will finally work.” Of course you’re tempted.
But what happens when you stop? What message does it send about your body? And why does the weight almost always come back?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the injection epidemic—not to shame anyone, but to ask the question nobody’s asking: If the thermostat never changes, what exactly did the needle fix?
In this episode:
Why people are fighting for weight loss prescriptions
The side effects nobody talks about
The message the needle sends: “Your body is broken”
Why weight returns when the injections stop
The thermostat metaphor—and why chemistry can’t override identity
