In this episode of Future Squared we’re diving into the fascinating and complex world of modern weight loss with Lucas Aoun, an expert in health and performance. In 1980, 15% of Americans were obese; today, it's 42%, with over 70% either overweight or obese. England has seen similar trends. We’ll explore why this epidemic has escalated, focusing on the role of the modern food supply, historical influences like the sugar industry’s impact, and groundbreaking treatments such as Ozempic. What is Ozempic, and how does it work? We'll delve into its benefits, risks, and the societal implications of widespread use. We discuss the future of weight management, balancing pharmaceutical solutions with lifestyle changes, and learning from cultures with low obesity rates. We also look at the body positivity movement, and ask whether it's doing more harm than good.Listen to the full episode on Future Squared podcast at:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Kd4WEVX8yta83aZGfWXk0?si=-VBHNK6MTuGepZtEuNj_XwApple Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Kd4WEVX8yta83aZGfWXk0?si=-VBHNK6MTuGepZtEuNj_Xw Hosted on Acast.
