Morning Routines, Motivation and the Ozempic Backlash

This week we’re looking at the rising pressure to lose weight and why so many people are turning to risky quick fixes. We unpack the growing backlash against Ozempic, now facing over 1,800 lawsuits in the US for severe side effects like stomach paralysis and vision loss.

We revisit the 5am Club and ask if the 8am Club is a smarter, more sustainable routine for real life. We share new research showing that the benefits of nature depend on how you experience it, and simple ways to make time outdoors more restorative.

And we explore the booming world of wellness wearables, from Oura rings to Apple Watches, and whether they really motivate us to change our habits.
