Episode 4 looks at the corporate winners and losers in the post-Ozempic era. And how these blockbuster drugs are disrupting industries beyond pharma.

Episode 3 dives into Brad’s journey on and off the popular weight-loss drug Mounjaro. He confronts the ghosts of diets past and wades into the larger cultural conversation around weight loss.

Episode 2 examines why these drugs are “bank breakers” and how patients are often turning to alternatives — some riskier than others.

Episode 1 looks at the origin of the drugs, and how Ozepmic, from its unlikely invention to its stratospheric rise, is upending weight-loss orthodoxy.

The series is hosted by the incredible @_jessicamendoza and @bradnews. Edited by one of the best editors in the field – @KatABrew. Mixed by the talented @petaplaysbass. And it was my honor to co-produce with the meticulous @matt_kwong.
