GLP-1 drugs are gaining popularity as an innovative solution to weight loss. With almost 43% of the US population being obese, this presents a strategic opportunity for the healthcare industry. Only 20% of Semaglutide users experience side effects, and the significant advertising spending by Rx manufacturers is driving demand for this new class of weight loss drugs.

In episode 48 of Kantar's Retail Sound Bites, hosts Barry Thomas, senior retail thought leader, and Rachel Dalton, head of retail insights, discuss GLP-1 medications and their influence on the retail landscape with nurse practitioners Leslie Thomas and Cathy Watkins lead the Signature Image Medical Spa in Atlanta, GA.
