27:51Now PlayingLuxury wellness retreats are being designed around people who use or are considering medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. Think sunrise yoga, protein-focused meals, strength training and life coaching, all for $12,000 a week.
On Thursday's “Hot Take with Jesse Weber,” we break down whether these retreats provide the long-term support GLP-1 users need or whether the luxury wellness industry has found its next expensive cash cow. We'll also examine why GLP-1 use has nearly quadrupled in the past two years.
Then, we're joined by Jill Boyd, COO of Hilton Head Health, one of the resorts now offering a specialized GLP-1 experience, to discuss the cost, medical oversight and value.
