So Much to Lose: Changing landscape of obesity in America

Would you take a medication that would help you lose weight? That’s the question many Americans have been considering since a class of drugs known as GLP-1s (newer brands include Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy) became popularized by celebrities and influencers earlier this year.

According to the latest Ipsos Consumer Tracker, over half (54%) of Americans are interested in medication to help them lose weight. With two new GLP-1s now FDA approved for weight loss, there are broader implications for sectors from healthcare to food & beverage to airlines if America can find ways to treat its epidemics of obesity.

Listen in as our Ipsos experts deep dive into the implications of new obesity treatments, including:

• What Americans believe about obesity, and how that differs by demographics
• What Americans are discussing about obesity and obesity treatments
• Equity considerations regarding access to these treatments
• Implications for a broad set of industries
