Best selling author Johann Hari has struggled with overeating and weight for most of his life. So when he decided to try Ozempic, a drug for type 2 diabetes that reduces appetite, it felt like magic.
The kilos melted off but the questions piled on. Why do we need pharmaceutical solutions for weight loss? What are the psychological impacts of eating less?
Will we ignore the issues in our overall food system if a drug can mitigate the impacts of eating unhealthy food?
Johann Hari shares about his personal experience and thoughts about getting out of the obesity trap in his new book, Magic Pill: The extraordinary benefits and disturbing risks of the new weight-loss drugs.
