My patients think Ozempic is a wonder drug. But it can't fix fat phobia

NPR  

My patients think Ozempic is a wonder drug. But it can't fix fat phobia Enlarge this image Diy13/Getty Images Diy13/Getty Images The other day in my primary care practice, one of my patients asked me to prescribe Ozempic. I've written publicly about my size-inclusive approach to medicine – I don't direct my patients towards weight loss, and I have a loyal following of patients who come to me specifically because I don't harass them about their body size. With budgets like that, it's no wonder my patients seem to think Ozempic is a miracle drug. Certainly, GLP-1 medications helped some of Oprah's guests with their diabetes and changed the way the world treated them, but the real problem behind their suffering isn't entirely medical.
