The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

A popular celebrity weight loss jab will be rolled out in the UK's NHS in a few weeks. It will be available for people who have a BMI of 35, meaning they are morbidly obese. The weekly jab Wegovy works by hijacking your brain to suppress appetite. Twitter owner Elon Musk uses the drug, while Kim Kardashian is rumoured to use it. Warwick University's Associate Clinical Professor Steven Lawrence told Mike Hosking celebrity endorsements create an idea of an easy solution. He says it's important to emphasise this drug is part of a wider lifestyle change. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
