To drop a dress size or two, some celebrities and other wealthy people are turning to prescriptions designed for very heavy people to lose significant weight. Jia Tolentino is a staff writer for The New Yorker, and she joins host Krys Boyd to talk about how – with enough money – it’s easy for anyone to get their hands on these drugs – and how people who take them might underestimate the health risks. Her article is “The Ozempic Era.”
