In today's episode we discuss the rainbow diet pill, also referred to as the perfect drug cocktail that famous Hollywood movie stars, like Debbie Reynolds and Judie Garland allegedly took to keep up with the demands of show business. Then we transition into Fen-Phen a popular non-approved weight loss medication that eventually led to severe heart conditions. I wrap up these scandals discussing how some weight-loss medications work, specifically with our hunger/fullness cues and digestion. With the popularity in medications like Ozempic I felt this episode was needed! Although, I have my expert views on weight-loss medication I acknowledge some of the nuance regarding weight loss medication as a treatment to weight loss and obesity. This episode was created to inform you on weight loss medications so that you can make informed decisions moving forward with your health.
