Ozempic: Friend or Foe for the Obesity Community?

This week’s podcast discusses the use of semaglutide medications for weight loss. While we acknowledge that this is a controversial topic in the medical and fitness communities, we’re always open to hearing all sides of the conversation. Any and all opinions stated in this podcast are the guests and hosts opinions and do not represent Primal Kitchen or its parent company. 

Tune in as Morgan discusses fitness, the obesity epidemic, and the weight loss drug Ozempic® with board-certified obesity and lipid specialist, Dr. Spencer Nadolsky. Inspired by his childhood growing up in an athletic family, Spencer blends his affinity for fitness with practical medical knowledge and currently serves as medical director for one of the largest online medical obesity treatment programs. You can also find him on Instagram, where he uses clever memes to dispel myths about weight loss and obesity. In this episode, Spencer discusses his weight loss ideologies, the science behind food cravings, and why people are turning to Ozympic for help. He also weighs in on the controversy surrounding this popular drug and the ethics of using semaglutide for everyday weight loss.
