GLP-1s are near-miracle drugs. On obesity alone they make a huge difference-resulting in about 15 to 20 percent weight loss in randomized trials. And although weight does not define health, and BMI is an overused number, the data are clear that obesity is a risk factor for a variety of diseases and is associated with higher mortality. Individuals experiencing obesity at age 40 have a life expectancy, on average, three to four years shorter than those who are in the normal weight range.

Chrissy Teigen Reveals Ozempic Use After Her Pregnancy Loss: 'Belly With No Baby in It'

My body was completely stuck. I really let myself indulge when I was pregnant. So, when I had lost that baby at 20 weeks, I had probably gained an extra 40 pounds that I wasn't comfortable with. Seeing her 'pregnant belly with no baby in it' caused her to go into a 'deep depression.'
