Welcome back to The Health Perspective. Weight loss injections like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro have dominated headlines, but what’s the real story behind them? As a GP, I’ve helped hundreds of patients on their weight loss journeys and seen first-hand what these medicines can do, where they can go wrong, and the questions people are too afraid to ask.

We explore: • The real difference between Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro • Which medication works best (and why) • How to get them safely in the UK — and what to avoid • Why they can’t be used during pregnancy • What happens when you stop taking them • The real safety data and long-term unknowns If you’re thinking about using a weight loss injection — or just want to understand the science and risks behind the headlines — this episode gives you a balanced, evidence-based place to start.
