Oprah Winfrey investigates prescription weight-loss medications when An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution airs at 8 p.m. on ABC Monday, March 18. The special goes for an hour and airs the next day on Hulu.
With a live studio audience, Winfrey gathers medical experts and everyday people with a connection to this crisis. “For the first time in history, new drugs could prove to be the game changer to stem the tide of people living with obesity, an epidemic which has grown exponentially since the 1970s, costing $173 billion per year in medical costs in the United States alone,” according to ABC.
