The Ozempic Effect with Paul Kemp
Have you ever stumbled into something that feels way bigger than you expected? That is exactly what happened with today’s guest, Paul Kemp, multi-award-winning documentary filmmaker and creator of The Ozempic Effect: Beyond the Waistline. And the wild part? My actual voice opens his film. Yep, somehow I accidentally narrated his sizzle reel and did not even know it. Life is weird.
In this episode, we go way past “Is Ozempic good or bad?” and dive into what might happen when up to 40 percent of North Americans are on GLP-1 drugs. We are talking changes to restaurants, grocery stores, alcohol companies, airlines, fashion, sex, gambling, online shopping, and even dementia and inflammation in the brain.
Paul opens up about his own assumptions going into the film. He thought it was just a shortcut at first. That shifted after hearing story after story from people who finally felt free from food noise. One guy literally said that chocolate-covered almonds became invisible to him. Imagine that.
We also get into some of the more complicated stuff, like black-market peptides, the pressure on the body-positive movement, and the question no one really wants to ask: if these drugs take away our vices, what replaces them? Are we becoming healthier, or just differently disconnected?
And then, at the end, Paul turns the tables and asks me if I would take a GLP-1 drug. You will want to hear that answer.
This episode is not about telling you what to do. It is about waking up to the fact that a massive cultural shift is already happening and whether we like it or not, it is changing how humans interact with food, pleasure, and even each other.
So now I am throwing it back to you. Is ease a bad thing, or have we just been conditioned to believe suffering equals worth?
What’s Inside:
- How GLP-1 drugs work beyond weight loss, including brain health and inflammation
- The impact on restaurants, alcohol, fashion, and society
- Why shame still exists around Ozempic and so-called shortcuts
- The surprising effect on addiction, sex drive, and impulse control
A little pause to think about this…
What is “riching” right to you? Buying the most expensive bag OR being so stinking rich you can give away more money than you keep? Changing the world and your life. Look, that could be you.
