Description

Fair warning, friends, I’m coming in hot today, and this episode might get a little bit spicy.In fact, I seriously considered calling this episode, "Why Oprah is full of [you know what!]," but I thought that might not make it past the censors.Yep, I really just said that.  I told you it was gonna be spicy!Because I don't know about you, but I recently watched Oprah’s big weight loss special and I have a LOT of thoughts.In case you missed it, let me fill you in: The special was called, "Shame, Blame, and the Weight Loss Revolution," and for lack of a better word, it was literally just an hour-long infomercial for Ozempic and other weight loss drugs.Her "revolution" was that Ozempic is awesome, and that everyone--including KIDS apparently--should take it without hesitation, nevermind the fact that it's ridiculously expensive, comes with a ton of scary side effects, and you have to keep taking it for LIFE or you'll gain all your weight back.Suffice to say, I was not a fan.  Honestly, the whole thing made me feel sick, knowing just how many women love and adore Oprah, and trust her to give them what they think is good advice.Because this was not good advice.  And today, I want to talk about why.
