Description

Two moms say the GLP-1 shot changed their lives—and now they want the same for their kids. Suzie and Deana credit the drug with helping them lose weight after years of failed diets. Now, they're ready for their teens—14-year-old Jeremiah and 16-year-old Demi—to start the same treatment. But should kids really be on a weight loss drug? Dr. Phil challenges the idea with gynecologist Dr. Jaime Seeman, who says the risks are too high. Body positivity advocate Virgie Tovar joins to warn that these drugs could set teens up for body image issues and eating disorders. Is this a step toward health—or a dangerous shortcut?
