The Quicky will be back with new episodes from January 15, but until then here’s one of our favourite episodes of this year. Thank you so much for being a part of The Quicky in 2023.

The public debate around weight loss drugs has never been louder than it was this year.

With some praising the new range of injectable drugs initially created to help those suffering with blood sugar level issues, other are warning against their use and recent headlines have suggested they can even be deadly.

In this episode of The Quicky, we answer all the questions you might have about weight loss drugs, from supply to side effects, to what may happen if you can no longer get a hold of it.
