  • Weight-loss jabs uncovered: The hype, the hazards, the missing safeguards
    Mar 3 2026

    In a weight-loss injection special, Linzi Lima and the team investigate these so-called wonder drugs and the impact on you as a consumer.

    Starting with journalist Sarah McGlinchey, who uncovers how she was able to purchase GLP-1 weight-loss injections, by giving inaccurate weight details, with no extra medical safety checks, through legitimate online retailers.

    We investigate what this missing safety net could mean for people with eating disorders and highlight how weight-loss injections may interfere with the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill and HRT.

    Journalist Claire Graham delves into the growing black market of unsafe unregulated weight-loss injections.

    And Esyllt Carr shares how weight-loss jabs are changing the spending habits of customers across the UK.

    With 1 in 3 Brits using weight-loss jabs admitting to experimenting with hacks such as micro-dosing to save money - Dr Kieran Seyen shares the dangers involved and the precautions that should be taken.

    And body positivity influencer Mollie Quirk tells us about the importance of embracing the size we are.
