Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonists like Wegovy have exploded as \\u201cmiracle weight loss drugs.\\u201d But as the research unfolds, we\\u2019re quickly discovering that these drugs are not risk free and come with some very concerning side effects.


In today\\u2019s episode of my series I\\u2019m calling Health Bites, I dive deep into the complexities of Ozempic. From nationwide shortages, high costs, the lack of insurance coverage, and severe, somewhat common, side effects, I explore the hurdles of Ozempic and question if it\'s truly a sustainable solution to our growing obesity crisis.
