Dr. Sanjay Gupta Reports: Is Ozempic Right for You?

Over the last few years, the weight loss industry has been disrupted by Hollywood stars and high-profile personalities boasting fast results from the so-called "miracle drugs" Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro. Dr. Gupta takes a deep dive into these blockbuster therapeutics and how they are changing the conversation about obesity, weight management and food consumption. He pulls back the curtain on the latest research on side effects, who is medically qualified to take the medication and other similar drugs, as well as future use cases for them. In this special, Dr. Gupta travels around the world, gaining extraordinary access to the scientists and labs advancing these discoveries. He speaks with Dr. Jens Juul Holst, one of the scientists who helped identify a key hormone (GLP-1) that is now revolutionizing the entire weight loss industry and who some predict will be a future Nobel Prize winner, and Dr. Dan Skovronsky, chief scientific officer at Eli Lilly, about how a diabetes drug became a ubiquitous treatment for obesity. Dr. Gupta also hears the stories of everyday people who have had myriad experiences taking the drug, including their side effects, results and accessibility to the medication.
