The Wall Street Skinny 33. The Ozempic Trade: "Health" and Body Image on Wall Street Feat. Lindsey Lusson
Ozempic and similar drugs are dominating the conversation about culture, health, and financial markets right now. But what does it mean for Wall Street --- not just for investors, but also in terms of its impact on the social norms of the industry?
**TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains a discussion of eating disorders and disordered eating.**
After all, the world of Wall Street has made huge strides on the diversity front with one notable exception: body diversity. In this episode, we discuss many of the very real problems with navigating body image in highly competitive, stressful environments where conspicuous consumption of food and alcohol may be an unwritten part of the job description. We are joined by registered dietician Lindsay Lusson to explore the physiological and psychological impacts of trying to conform to these pressures, and what shifts we are seeing with new drugs like Ozempic AND a new generation coming up through the ranks.
