FOX 17’s women’s health expert talks about effectiveness of weight loss drugs – FOX 17 West Michigan News

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Last week, Oprah aired a special report on the results she's seen using weight loss drugs, and for many people they have been lifesaving.

Drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have helped many Americans shed pounds and overcome weight-related diseases like obesity, which around two in five adult Americans struggle with.

FOX 17's women's health experts Dr. Diana Bitner and Dr. Celia Egan joined FOX 17 Morning News to talk about these drugs and how they can be lifesaving.

Dr. Bitner says many people have preconceptions about these drugs because of comments like "why don't people just eat less" or "they must not be trying (to lose weight)". This bias extends into the medical and insurance company communities as well.

According to Dr. Celia Egan from "true. Women's Health", says obesity is now formally considered the medical condition it is. She is Board Certified in Obesity Medicine as well as Internal Medicine. Dr. Egan says her goal is to help people safely get healthy and reach her goals.
