The Ozempic Effect on SBS2 examines how GLP-1 medications are changing conversations about health, weight loss, body image and access to treatment.
The documentary looks beyond the rapid rise of drugs including Ozempic to consider their social consequences. It hears from people using the medication as well as voices exploring the questions around its growing influence.
The programme does not present a simple answer. Instead, it considers the medical, cultural and personal issues that have moved these treatments into mainstream discussion.
That wider lens makes it a timely look at a topic that is often reduced to headlines and before-and-after images.
The Ozempic Effect: Beyond The Waistline premieres Saturday 19 September at 8.30pm on SBS2 and SBS On Demand.
