Will Gen Z Lead the Charge With Ozempic?
Who needs gym gains when your doctor can prescribe Ozempic? According to a recent poll, over a quarter of Americans plan to turn to GLP-1 medications—like Ozempic—to reach their weight loss goals in the new year. And most of them happen to be Gen Z.
Researchers with Tebra surveyed 1,012 Americans to understand and examine how these popular medications are reshaping wellness goals as we head into 2025. Weight loss peptides have emerged as a trending topic in recent years, with both celebrities and everyday folk alike turning to them as a weight loss aid.
According to KFF, public awareness of GLP-1 medications have significantly increased in 2024, with about 32 percent of adults saying they have heard “a lot” about these drugs—a jump from 19 percent in July 2023.
