By Cameron English and ChuckDinerstein — Jul 30, 2024

Ozempic, the blockbuster weight-loss drug, has ignited a ferocious debate over the ethics and efficacy of treating obesity with medication. Oddly, this intense ideological battle has glossed over perhaps the most important question we should answer: How does the drug impact individual patients? Dr. Chuck Dinerstein, ACSH's Director of Medicine, is working to correct that oversight by documenting his own experience with Ozempic.
