Oprah Winfrey To Tackle The Impact Of Prescription Weight Loss Medications In ABC Special


Oprah Winfrey is taking on the subject of prescription weight loss medications and their impact in an upcoming ABC primetime special.

Winfrey also speaks with leaders from the two global pharmaceutical companies behind the drugs “to address what this means for the 100 million Americans and over 1 billion adults worldwide living with a deadly disease.” “This special will bring together medical experts, leaders in the space and people in the day-to-day struggle to talk about health equity and obesity with the intention to ultimately release the shame, judgment and stigma surrounding weight.” Winfrey last month announced she was leaving the board of directors of WeightWatchers after a 9-year run and donating her stock in the company in order to avoid any potential conflict of interest over her use of weight-loss medications.
