Bestselling author Johann Hari on the whole Ozempic conundrum

Good Weekend Talks

In this episode we meet bestselling author Johann Hari, who has gone down an Ozempic rabbit hole to work out how and why this weight loss drug works. Hari writes about his findings in a new book, Magic Pill, including his own dramatic drop in clothes size. Whilst marvelling at how drugs like this are changing obesity management, he remains conflicted about their use and longer-term ramifications.

Hosting the conversation is Good Weekend senior writer, Amanda Hooton.
