De: Scaachi Koul

Narrado por: Scaachi Koul

Over the next five years, millions of more Americans are expected to take Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, which are rapidly being recognized as the miracle drugs of this century. If you’re not on them, you’ll probably know someone who is. What are the implications of the widespread use of these drugs, both on our bodies and our society? In this show, you’ll meet people across America who are either taking the jab or thinking about it, and the shocking intentional and unintentional results they are seeing. The Thin Line looks at the promise and the peril of GLP-1s today, and explores what will happen in the near future with the democratization of these breakthrough drugs.

More balanced than expected and very comprehensive

For the record, I’m not longer with WW for reasons I think the host could pick up on during our interview. Kudos for including the attempted interference from corporate PR person. I hollered. It’s art. Thanks for putting this together Scaachi et al. -Summer (ch 7)

Informative and entertaining

I really appreciated the candor in reporting. I felt the information was well balanced and well researched. But not boring! It was relevant and evaluated an important timely issue from many angles. Plus I love this authors mom being involved. What a great and very personal touch. Because we all care about what our moms think, even if they are not ‘experts’.

Informative and realistic

Great show! They found great people to interview, doctors who are deep in the beauty industry and perspectives of people who struggle with their weight and make you feel seen.

Relevant subject , hot topic

Liked the style of narration, the jingles, the voices, the data. Thanks to the creators!

Valuable perspectives

LOTS of nervous laughter. Good info but still believe leaner is better - preferably without GLPs which solve the symptoms but only make the problem worse...
