Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the show breaking down the latest news, research, and real-life stories around Ozempic, the medication making headlines for weight management and beyond.

Today, we will dive into some of the biggest updates, from its impact on both weight loss and heart health, to new science on how the medication truly works—plus what listeners should know when considering this medication in their own lives.

A recent comprehensive study led by University College London has revealed that Ozempic, which contains the active ingredient semaglutide, not only aids in weight reduction but also offers significant protection against heart attacks and other major heart events. The study, published in The Lancet, was conducted on over seventeen thousand adults who were overweight and had cardiovascular disease. Participants received weekly semaglutide injections or a placebo. Earlier findings showed a 20 percent reduction in the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other major cardiac events among those on semaglutide.

What makes these findings truly remarkable is that semaglutide’s heart protection was seen in people across all body types. Adults whose body mass index was only slightly elevated, around twenty-seven, experienced the same level of cardiovascular protection as those with obesity. This means you do not have to be significantly overweight to benefit from the drug’s heart-protective effects. According to the lead researcher Professor John Deanfield, this could reshape how and to whom Ozempic is prescribed in the future. He stated that limiting the use of the medication only to people with the highest body weights may not be the best policy, particularly for those who are looking to address cardiovascular risks.

The study also highlighted that while a reduction in waist size does contribute to some of the heart protection—about one-third to be exact—the majority of heart health benefits cannot be explained by weight loss alone. Professor Deanfield emphasized that Ozempic directly impacts heart disease and other conditions associated with aging.

These discoveries raise new questions about the potential long-term uses of Ozempic, not just as a tool for weight loss, but as a preventive therapy for aging-related diseases, especially cardiovascular disease.

Of course, benefits must always be balanced against possible side effects. It is important to remember that while Ozempic can be a powerful medicine, it is not for everyone—and it is not a quick fix. According to recent real-world surveys published in Patient Preference and Adherence, a substantial majority, around seventy-two percent, of people who started Ozempic did so solely for weight loss, while another twenty percent used it for both weight control and diabetes management. Most initiated therapy at lower doses, with gradual increases over time.

However, like any medication, Ozempic does carry risks. Users have reported gastrointestinal side effects including nausea and diarrhea. Rare but serious risks exist, such as concerns around thyroid tumors found in animal studies and pancreatitis. Long-term safety data is still being gathered, and health care providers weigh these factors when advising patients.

Public awareness of Ozempic has been driven by direct-to-consumer advertising. New studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association dissect this trend, noting that advertising can influence patient expectations and prompt conversations with health care providers, but it also underscores the importance of educated decision making.

With all these updates and the growing body of research, the most important advice is to consult a qualified health care provider before starting or stopping Ozempic or any weight loss medication. Each person’s medical background and goals are unique. These new discoveries mean that more people than ever are wondering if Ozempic might be right for them—not just for weight management, but also as a tool to reduce long-term health risks.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
