To be clear; semaglutide is a legitimate treatment for diabetes and related conditions that has had an amazing impact on people living with those conditions. One effect of the drug is significantly decreased appetite which usually leads to weight loss as well.

But yeah, celebrities started using it to lose weight and suddenly everyone else wants it too.
