Weight It Out: Black Women’s Bodies in the Quick Diet Era

Weight It Out: Black Women’s Bodies in the Quick Diet Era

In the Ozempic era, would love to have diet experts and medical folk break down what people need to understand about the new wave of weight-loss drugs that have recently put Jenny Craig out of business. They can explain what people need to know about how to use those drugs safely, and with what's occurred with Jenny Craig, talk about why doing things the all natural way (via hard work) is still important.
