The Ozempic era

Ladies, We Need To Talk

Is Ozempic the drug of our lifetime? Since it burst onto the scene it's become synonymous with weight loss, with everyone from A-list celebrities to your next-door neighbour rapidly slimming down.

The popularity of the drug and others like it such as Mounjaro and Wegovy, has led to demand outstripping supply, with the price of these medications falling out of reach for some.

And along with the cheekbones Ozempic face has unearthed, it's also forcing us to have some uncomfortable conversations around fatness, fatphobia and what it means to be 'healthy'.

For some Australian women, it's changed their lives. Others are still grappling with how the world treats their new body.

In this episode of Ladies, We Need to Talk, Yumi Stynes finds out what the Ozempic era means for all bodies.
