Ozempic Is Wreaking Havoc on Mother-Daughter Relationships

The push to use GLP-1 drugs has spilled far beyond pharmacies, according to a profile describing how an Ozempic-like boom strained a mother-daughter relationship. Natalie, who took over her family’s restaurant operations about seven years ago and later opened a second location in New York at age 33, says tensions began when her mother visited after Natalie gave birth. The mother, who had dropped several dress sizes on a GLP-1, suggested Natalie take one so she would “be skinny” by the time the restaurant opened. The article also cites a Gallup poll: 15% of Americans report using GLP-1s for weight loss at some point.
