      Wegovy is fairly new as a weight-loss drug (it’s a rebranded diabetes treatment), but it’s taking the weight-loss world by storm because it actually works.

      In its clinical trial for weight-loss treatment in 2021, they tested it against a placebo and told both groups to combine the meds with lifestyle changes, and over the 68-week trial those on placebos lost an average of under 3% body weight while those on Wegovy lost almost 15%.
