Hi, it's Jess. We're going to be back with our third episode of Trillion Dollar Shot next Sunday.

But until then, we wanted to introduce you to another show we think you'd love, especially

if you've been following our coverage of drugs like Ozempick.

It's called Science Versus, and it's a show that pits facts against Fads and fiction, including

some great reporting answering questions all about this new class of weight loss drugs.

Here it is.

Hi, I'm Wendy Zuckerman and you're listening to science verses.

Today on the show we're looking into the latest fears around drugs like Osempic.

And before we jump in, in this episode we are talking a little bit about suicidal thoughts.

So please take care while you're listening and we're going to put some mental health resources in our

show notes. Okay, let's get started.

Last year, just as drugs like Ozemphic were gaining steam, we did our first episode about them.

But since then, a lot has happened. Prince Charles became

King Charles. Twitter rebranded to X and Taylor Swift joined the NFL.

Yay!

But one thing that hasn't changed, these weight loss drugs are still big news.

One hot topic everyone in Hollywood still seems to be talking about is Ozempik.

And it's not just Ozempik. There's a bunch of similar drugs out there, like Wagovi, Monjaro, and Zepbound.

And something we keep hearing about them is that they're causing these weird and very scary side effects.

The Ozmpic hype is starting to wither, replaced with the reality that it and similar drugs are very risky, even deadly.

Last year there were all these stories of people becoming suicidal

soon after taking these weight loss drugs.
