Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked. Today we dive into the latest headlines, research, controversies, and the practical realities of Ozempic, a medication originally crafted for type two diabetes that has rocketed into the spotlight for its weight-loss effects.Ozempic, with the active ingredient semaglutide, was approved in the United States in December 2017 to help manage blood sugar in people living with type two diabetes. However, it soon became widely prescribed off-label for weight loss, a trend that only accelerated after the higher-dose version, branded as Wegovy, received federal approval in 2021. According to the Lawsuit Information Center, Ozempic works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1, helping regulate blood sugar and appetite. Many people using it experience reduced appetite and significant weight reduction.While its popularity continues to grow, so does scientific understanding. A 2025 study presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference revealed that Swiss patients with type two diabetes using oral semaglutide experienced clinically significant drops in both blood sugar and body weight. GlobalData reports that no new safety risks were identified in that trial, supporting ongoing confidence among healthcare professionals.But for those interested only in weight loss, it is not all smooth sailing. Ozempic carries a range of potential side effects. According to King Law, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed in the last year, with plaintiffs claiming they suffered severe complications such as gastroparesis, intestinal blockages, blood clots, and even hair loss. A study published this August found that women on Ozempic experienced twice the rate of hair loss as women who were not taking the drug, while men saw their risk climb by more than half.The United States Food and Drug Administration updated Ozempic's packaging earlier this year to warn about the risk of pancreatitis and severe kidney injuries, including potentially fatal outcomes linked to dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea. The label changes were driven by new clinical trial data and reinforce the importance of medical supervision when using these drugs.Shortages, once a common concern, have eased. The Food and Drug Administration officially took Ozempic off the drug shortage list in February after Novo Nordisk provided reassurance about inventory and supply. That move, however, sparked legal challenges from compounders competing in the market.Unfortunately, enthusiasm for rapid weight loss has also created a black market for Ozempic and similar drugs. The Food and Drug Administration cautions against using compounded or counterfeit versions, which have not undergone review for safety or effectiveness. Some of these unregulated products might be contaminated, mislabeled, or dangerously dosed. Always fill your prescriptions through a licensed pharmacy.For listeners interested in alternatives, exciting research is underway. Purdue University food scientists are investigating foods and supplements that naturally stimulate GLP-1, the hormone Ozempic is designed to mimic. While these approaches will not produce the dramatic weight loss seen with medication, they may help those seeking more natural solutions—especially if someone discontinues their prescription and needs help maintaining a healthy weight.So, where does Ozempic stand today? We have a medication achieving strong results for blood sugar control and weight loss, but one that comes with a profile of side effects still being researched, legal actions underscoring patient concerns, and increased focus on responsible, safe prescribing.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, Natalie Born sits down with Dr. Scott Hutcheson, biosocial scientist, senior lecturer at Purdue University, and author of Biohacking Leadership. Scott blends his academic expertise with real-world experience advising organizations—from startups to the White House—to uncover how biology shapes leadership and team performance. Drawing from both personal health insights and decades of research, Scott introduces “leadership biodynamics,” a model that reframes executive presence into measurable signals of warmth, competence, and gravitas. With 18 behavioral biomarkers and a practical diagnostic framework, leaders can finally translate the vague idea of presence into actionable skills that inspire trust, connection, and results. If you've ever wondered how to amplify your leadership impact—or why your influence isn't landing the way you intend—this conversation is for you.[00:00 – 04:00] Scott's Journey into Biohacking LeadershipFrom organizational transformation failures to biosocial science.A diabetes diagnosis sparks personal biohacking experiments.How biology and behavior intersect in leadership performance.[04:01 – 09:00] Redefining Executive PresenceWhy “executive presence” has been vague and poorly researched.Breaking it down into “executive” (thinking) and “presence” (behavior).The birth of leadership biodynamics: 18 biomarkers that leaders signal.[09:01 – 13:00] The Three Pillars: Warmth, Competence, GravitasWhy warmth builds trust and connection.Competence as expertise and credibility.Gravitas defined as “feet on the ground, wings ready to take flight.”[13:01 – 18:00] Turning Biomarkers into ActionUsing diagnostics and feedback to identify signal gaps.Why “narrating your thinking” helps others see your competence.Translating thought processes into presence that others can perceive.[18:01 – 22:00] Leading with Warmth and Co-CreationHow leaders influence team neurochemistry with cortisol or oxytocin.A proven sequence: warmth → competence → gravitas.Design thinking parallels: inviting others into co-creation.[22:01 – 25:00] Storytelling and the Power of Origin StoriesWhy scientists and engineers often need more warmth.A young innovator's water purification story that unlocked funding.How adding human context amplifies technical competence.[25:01 – 27:00] What's Next for Biohacking LeadershipThe three-book series: Biohacking Leadership, Biohacking Teams, and Biohacking Organizations.Where to connect with Scott and explore his work.Key Quotes:“Executive presence isn't about how you dress—it's about the signals you send through warmth, competence, and gravitas.” – Scott Hutcheson“No one can see how you think.

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast dedicated to bringing you the latest news, updates, and insights on Ozempic and its impact on weight, health, and lifestyle.Today, we start with the basics: Ozempic is a medication based on semaglutide, and it is part of a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs work by mimicking a hormone in your gut that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. According to Purdue University, after a meal, the body naturally releases GLP-1, which helps stimulate insulin production and signals the brain to feel full. Ozempic uses a modified version of this hormone, which not only lowers blood sugar but also reduces appetite, leading to significant weight loss. Clinical studies suggest people can lose between five and twelve percent of their body weight, while also seeing improvements in blood sugar and cardiovascular health.Ozempic is recommended as the first injectable therapy for diabetes by the American Diabetes Association, but most of its headline-grabbing popularity now comes from its off-label use for weight loss. Over fifteen million adults in the United States now use medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar GLP-1-based drugs. The Wall Street Journal reports that this number has been climbing steadily each year.But as more people turn to Ozempic, new challenges and concerns are emerging. The most common side effects are nausea and digestive issues, which can be so severe that up to forty percent of people stop using the drug within the first month, according to Tufts University researchers. Even for those who tolerate Ozempic, there are drawbacks. Experts at Purdue University caution that weight often returns when the drug is discontinued, meaning it is not a permanent fix. Other concerns are rising as well. Mass General Brigham recently published research in JAMA Ophthalmology that links semaglutide to a greater risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, a condition that can cause sudden, permanent blindness. People with diabetes taking semaglutide were over four times more likely to develop this disorder than those who did not.At the same time, there is a lot of online buzz around microdosing, or taking very small amounts of GLP-1 drugs for longevity or anti-aging. The Washington Post and The Independent have both reported that leading experts see no solid scientific evidence that microdosing these drugs provides any benefit or is even safe. Companies marketing microdosing protocols are ahead of the actual science.Researchers at Tufts are now developing new medications that target even more hormone receptors, hoping to be more effective, easier to take, and come with fewer side effects. Their most recent breakthrough aims for a four-in-one drug that tackles multiple hormones tied to metabolism and appetite, with the goal of delivering even greater and longer-lasting weight loss. The hope is that future drugs could treat obesity and simultaneously reduce risks for over one hundred eighty diseases linked to excess weight, including diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.Meanwhile, there are also efforts to stimulate the body's own GLP-1 production naturally, possibly through dietary fibers or future supplements. Purdue researchers believe this could help people maintain weight loss after coming off Ozempic, without the harsh side effects of injections, though results so far show milder weight control than with the actual drug.To sum up, Ozempic has opened a new chapter in metabolic medicine, but there are still risks, unanswered questions, and an ever-changing landscape as science races forward. We will be here to keep you informed with the latest evidence and expert insights.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Farmer sentiment dipped again in August as the Purdue University-CME Group Ag Economy Barometer Index fell 10 points to 125. Producers were markedly less optimistic about the future in August as the Index of Future Expectations dropped 16 points to 123. This was the lowest reading for the future index since last September. Purdue ag economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier share insights into the results of the August 2025 survey, conducted from August 11-15, in this episode of the Purdue Commercial AgCast. Sentiment differed widely among producers depending on whether their farm is primarily a crop operation or a livestock operation. Responses from crop producers this month were much less optimistic than those from livestock producers, which indicates the disparity in profitability between crop and livestock enterprises. Beef cattle operations in particular are experiencing record profitability as the smallest cattle inventory since 1951 has pushed cattle prices to record levels. This stands in sharp contrast to returns for crop production which have weakened in 2025. The Ag Economy Barometer sentiment index is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers' responses to a telephone survey. Further details on the full report is available at https://purdue.edu/agbarometer.

When planes fly faster than the speed of sound, air molecules can't get out of the way fast enough and begin to pack together. Eventually they form a wave in front of the aircraft, creating a burst of air pressure. And you get a big bang - the sound of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier - a sonic boom. This sonic boom can damage structures and break glass. Because of this, supersonic overland flight has been banned in the United States since the 1970s. That was always a problem for aircraft like The Concorde - it simply wasn't allowed to get any further than the eastern seaboard when flying from Europe. But now, America's FAA is in the process of lifting this restriction. In this episode of Weekend One on One, William Crossley, the head of aeronautics and astronautics at Purdue University in the US, explains commercial flights traveling at supersonic speeds could reduce a cross-country flight from five hours to one hour, saving people valuable time.

In this episode, I sit down with Donzel, whose journey takes us from the sun-soaked streets of Key West, Florida, to the locker rooms of Purdue University, and on through a 30-year corporate career leading international teams. We explore why he traded palm trees for the Midwest — a decision shaped by family ties, academic ambition, and the guiding hand of a high school coach with deep Purdue connections. Donzel shares how growing up surrounded by diverse cultures in Key West prepared him to lead in a complex, global world. Leadership That Meets You Where You Are Donzel tells a powerful story of nearly quitting his high school football team — and how Coach Freeman's flexible, heart-led leadership kept him in the game. That moment taught him the value of humility, accessibility, and investing in people. We talk about how those same qualities can transform workplaces, teams, and even entire communities. Making Your Destiny Happen Donzel's new book, Make Your Destiny Happen, began as a life plan he created in his twenties. Six months of writing turned into four years of editing, as he distilled decades of leadership experience from across the globe into a guide for others. His philosophy? Leadership done well creates ripples far beyond the office walls. Mentors in Unexpected Places From his great grandmother to a janitor who quietly shared investment wisdom, Donzel's life is a testament to finding mentors everywhere. We swap stories about the surprising people who've shaped our own journeys and how wisdom often shows up in the least expected ways. His book offers readers a roadmap to building a balanced life — one that honors both ambition and well-being. The Art and Grind of Creating We compare content creation to staging a Broadway production — the endless rewrites, the fine-tuning, and the moment you know it's ready. Donzel's hope is that his book will spark change and possibility for readers, and I couldn't agree more. Strong leadership is needed now more than ever, and his message delivers. Empowering Through Positive Change Donzel believes in leadership that inspires, not intimidates. His book is a call to action for anyone ready to take control of their life, redefine success, and lead with purpose. If it inspires even one person to take that step, he considers it a win. Where to Find Donzel You can explore more of Donzel's work through his website, his social channels, and his Make Your Destiny Happen Petite Podcast — short, impactful leadership lessons often inspired by his late father. And, of course, pick up your copy of Make Your Destiny Happen.   Donzel Leggett is an accomplished senior executive with 32+ years of leadership experience driving business growth for Fortune 200 consumer products companies.

On 4 August, Paul Atkins, the chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, launched “Project Crypto”. The SEC wants to make the US “the crypto capital of the world”. Crypto investors make a lot of noise, but who are they, and do they behave differently to other retail investors? A new CEPR discussion paper called “Do you even crypto, bro?” summarises what a representative sample of US citizens think about crypto investments and highlights the gap in attitudes to risk and investing between crypto holders and the rest of the population. Michael Weber of Purdue University is one of the authors, and he tells Tim Phillips about the beliefs, the politics and the attitude to investment gains that have typified the crypto market so far.

What do fast buzzers, obscure facts, and lifelong learning have in common? For Adriana Harmeyer, the answer starts with Quiz Bowl and leads all the way to the Jeopardy! Masters stage. In this episode, Director of Student Programs Jill Slinker sits down with Adriana Harmeyer - 15-time Jeopardy! champion, Tournament of Champions runner-up, Masters competitor, and current Purdue University archivist - to talk about where it all began: high school Quiz Bowl. They explore how early experiences in academic competition can shape a lifelong love of learning, the importance of keeping students excited and engaged, and how the skills sharpened in Quiz Bowl (lightning-fast recall, wide-ranging knowledge, and buzzer strategy) translate seamlessly to one of television's most challenging quiz shows. Whether you've played, coached, or just love learning for the sake of it, this one's worth a listen.

This season has brought one of the most puzzling problems in corn production, the tight tassel wrap.   Tight tassel wrap is an uncommon phenomenon that occurs when the uppermost leaves refuse to unfurl, keeping the tassel trapped and preventing pollination. The result? Pollination problems that can quietly reduce your yields, even in fields that look picture-perfect from afar.   Tune in as Mike Howell sits down with Dr. Dan Quinn, Purdue University's extension corn specialist, to explore this new challenge and the importance of getting timing and synchrony right throughout corn production.   They break down how corn pollinates, how pollen travels from tassel shed to silks to fertilize ovules and why the short pollination window is so vulnerable to stress. You'll hear about how environmental changes and hybrid traits can create this problem and what to look for when scouting your fields.   Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?

Farmer sentiment continues to weaken, as the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer declined again in July. The barometer fell 11 points to 135 from June, a reading that resulted from U.S. farmers' weaker perceptions of both current conditions and future expectations. Purdue ag economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier share insights into the results of the July 2025 survey, conducted from July 7-11, in this episode of the Purdue Commercial AgCast. Weak crop prices, a squeeze on farm margins, and a notable difference in sentiment between crop and livestock producers are key factors to the weakened sentiment. Despite high input costs and concerns on long-term profitability, recent policy changes and improved expectations for ag exports, have farmers responding that U.S. policy is headed "in the right direction." The Ag Economy Barometer sentiment index is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers' responses to a telephone survey. Further details on the full report is available at https://purdue.edu/agbarometer. Slides and the transcript from the discussion can be found at https://purdue.ag/agcast191. You can find the FULL video episode on our YouTube channel.

First up on the podcast, Contributing Correspondent Richard Stone joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about the toll of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and how researchers have been mobilized to help the war effort. In June, Stone visited the basement labs where Ukrainian students modify off-the-shelf drones for war fighting and the facilities where biomedical researchers develop implants and bandages for wounded soldiers.   Next on the show, the isotopic ratios in our teeth and bones record the chemistry of what we eat. When anthropologists recently applied this technique to Neanderthals, they were surprised to find that when it comes to eating meat, our hominin cousins appeared to be on par with lions. Melanie Beasley, assistant professor of anthropology at Purdue University, has an explanation for why Neanderthals chemically look like hypercarnivores: They were just eating a lot of maggots. She talks about how she tested this idea by studying maggots that were fed putrefying human flesh.   Last up on this episode, a new installment of our series of books on death and science. This month's books host Angela Saini talks with Ravi Nandan Singh, a sociologist at Shiv Nadar University, about his book Dead in Banaras: An Ethnography of Funeral Travelling.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.   About the Science Podcast   Authors: Sarah Crespi; Angela Saini; Rich Stone Learn more about your ad choices.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMIn this episode, we interview co-host of The Catholic Brothers podcast, Steven Alspach. Steven grew up Catholic, but fell away from the faith into Protestantism. However, he quickly realized things weren't adding up.

We thought “self-leadership” was just a corporate thing, until we realized it's the missing piece for women building real businesses and meaningful lives. In this episode, Brin'na Rollins-Williams shares how she walked away from a six-figure career at Target to reclaim her wholeness, voice, and legacy and how women entrepreneurs can do the same without burning out.   This episode will walk you through a lesson on Self-Leadership…that is so needed in entrepreneurship.    

Losing a spouse changes everything, emotionally, mentally, and financially. But while grief is often discussed, the money struggles that come with it are rarely part of the conversation, or just grief in general. From paperwork and decisions to pressure and overwhelm, surviving spouses are often expected to figure it all out. In this episode, Certified Financial Planner and Air Force veteran, Daniel Kopp, talks about the financial side of grief, what widows and widowers really face after loss, the emotional weight behind every decision, and how to find stability when your world feels upside down. He shares both his personal experience and professional insights on navigating life after loss. Daniel Kopp, MA, MS, CFP ®, is a fee-only financial planner, financial therapist, and founder of Wise Stewardship Financial Planning, where he helps young widows and widowers as well as military members organize their financial lives by aligning money with their deeply-held values.  He leverages his experiences as a widower and Air Force veteran to offer a deeper level of engagement and connection with his clients. He is also an XYPN and NAPFA member, as well as being a founding board member of the Military Financial Advisors Association (MFAA). Daniel's education includes his undergraduate with a BS in Economics from Purdue University with highest distinction, an MA from American Military University, a Graduate Certificate in Financial Therapy and an MS in Personal Financial Planning from Kansas State University (KSU).
