Oprah’s ‘Weight Loss Revolution’ Is a Brief, Surface-Level Overview of Obesity Drugs: TV Review


In "An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution" Oprah Winfrey talks Ozempic, food noise, and the shame of obesity.

Though Oprah doesn’t address the exact medication she has used to achieve her most recent weight loss, she does take the time to identify obesity as a disease that many people cannot control. “Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution” focuses on the emotional and health burdens of obesity, but the reported side effects of the medicines aren’t given the same amount of screen time. Though the special isn’t a comprehensive deep dive into semaglutide injectables, it reminds us that we should all have the right to make decisions about our bodies without fear of harm or embarrassment.
