Nearly half of Americans say they’re willing to pay for weight-loss drugs. But what are the downsides to these so-called “miracle drugs”?


Johann Hari is the author of the book, “Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight Loss Drugs.” Ricky Mulvey caught up with Hari for a conversation about:

  • The medical magic that makes GLPs so effective
  • Whether online pharmacies can responsibly prescribe these drugs
  • Why there’s a much larger market for these in the US than in other parts of the world
