Explore the latest developments in the Wegovy weight loss revolution with host Alexandra Reeves. This episode unpacks the FDA's recent resolution of Wegovy shortages, making this groundbreaking obesity medication more accessible to patients nationwide.

The episode also examines the growing legal challenges with over 1,500 cases now in multi-district litigation regarding potential side effects.

From its economic impact boosting Denmark's economy to its cultural significance in Hollywood and beyond, discover how Wegovy is reshaping our understanding of obesity treatment, healthcare accessibility, and pharmaceutical innovation.
