As I was creating a swipe/carousel post for Instagram on this topic, there was way too much I wanted to try and include and wanted to do a deep dive on this potential controversial topic on weight loss drugs. We've seen the rise in popularity of these drugs and injections and I am concerned with how it is being prescribed especially to our younger population. I'll share some statistics, studies, my thoughts, and more on this topic and please let me know what you think!
