She will examine new slimming jabs coming to market in the UK.
While the slimming jabs have been said to account for significant weight loss for some who use them, their surge in popularity has also led to questionable celebrity endorsements and discussions about body diversity more broadly.
In this documentary, Anna Richardson will explore whether these slimming jabs are susceptible to abuse when obtained privately, as well as examine the role social media may play in framing their success rate. Anna will speak to medical experts, industry representatives and people who are using the drugs to explore both the cost and benefits of these so-called 'miracle drugs'.
"Much as these drugs have been approved for treatment for those with type 2 diabetes or obesity, the dangerous hype around them, added to by celebrity endorsement, is rapidly going to lead to improper use in those who do not need it," Anna said. "This doc will be the first to uncover the myths and facts behind the new 'magic bullet' in the fight against obesity."
