    Could Ozempic end 'globesity'?

    Ozempic has changed the way we treat diabetes. But it's its ability to aid rapid weight loss that has captured the world's attention.

    Hack unpacks Ozempic with best-selling author Johann Hari, obesity expert Dr Kathryn Williams... and a couple of bodybuilders too.

    Guests:
    Johann Hari, author
    Dr Kathryn Williams, obesity expert, University of Sydney
