Episode 116 - Is there a “gamechanging” new weight loss drug?
There’s been hub-bub in the UK because a new weight loss drug has been approved for the NHS. This same drug is also approved in the US and has lots of fat people hopeful that something will finally help them become thin, especially when it is touted at a “gamechanging” intervention by the manufacturer and many other outlets. Is it though? I’m breaking down my thoughts alongside chatting about the harms for fat folks with atypical anorexia. TW: assumptions about fat bodies and health dissected, it’s kinda a rage inducing episode.
