Send us a textIn this 15‑minute episode, an anonymous guest lifts the lid on “weight‑loss jabs” - why she chose them purely for vanity, how easy it was to get them online (yes, including faking a photo), the brutal side‑effects, the instant regain when she stopped, and the uncomfortable truth that a slimmer body didn’t equal a toned one.We also dig into the ethics: shortages, NHS access, off‑label prescribing, dependency, and what this all means for a society already struggling with obesity.
