## Resource

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are revolutionizing weight loss and chronic disease prevention, with 11% of adults now using them—up from just 3% two years ago. Awareness has skyrocketed, with 91% of people now familiar with these medications, a trend fueled by FDA approvals. Public health is seeing real shifts: the adult obesity rate has dropped from nearly 40% to 36%, while diabetes diagnoses have stabilized since 2023. Most users still rely on brand-name versions (68%), but compounded alternatives (19%) are gaining traction for affordability. Whether you’re on brand or compounded, the impact is clear—these drugs help regulate blood sugar, curb appetite, and are reshaping how we think about health and wellness.
