Ozempic and its Impact on Weight Loss and Body Image
Ozempic, a weight loss drug, has become a cultural phenomenon entangled in discussions of body image and diet culture. The drug, initially developed for type 2 diabetes management, has sparked debates on the virtuousness of weight loss methods and the societal projections onto individuals using such medications. The public scrutiny faced by celebrities like Lana Del Rey and Khloe Kardashian over alleged Ozempic use reflects a broader theme of moralizing weight loss and the pressure to conform to societal ideals of thinness.
