In this enlightening episode of Passion Struck, Johann Hari, acclaimed author of "Magic Pill," takes us on a deep dive into the extraordinary benefits and hidden risks of new weight loss drugs. Johann explores obesity not just as a personal struggle but as a profound societal issue intricately linked to our shift from whole foods to processed foods.

These revolutionary drugs enhance satiety hormones, significantly aiding weight loss and reducing the risk of heart conditions. However, Johann also sheds light on the potential risks, including thyroid cancer and pancreatitis, and the complex impact these drugs can have on mental health by revealing underlying emotional eating patterns.
