Obesity, one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States, has begun to decline significantly. This was expressed by Stephanie Himonidis Sedano, better known as Chiquibaby, in her program “El Show de tu Chiquibaby” on YouTube, where she addressed the controversy, the benefits and also the risks of using injections such as Ozempic to lose weight.
“Whether we like it or not, the injection revolution has a lot to do with it,” she commented, stressing that despite the criticism, these drugs have demonstrated efficacy. According to the latest studies, “the obese population in the United States has decreased at a very fast rate in the world thanks to Ozempic”.
Promising projections
The obesity rate could fall even further over the next five years, by as much as 11%, according to estimates.
However, this decrease does not depend on the drug alone:
Chiquibaby emphasizes that it is key to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes a good diet, regular physical activity, good sleep habits and adequate supplements.
He also warned that there are multiple brands on the market – “there are already about 10 different brands”- and that not all of them are the same, so having a reliable medical guide is essential.
Misuse for vanity
One of the strongest points made in this podcast was his criticism of the use of these injections for aesthetic reasons:
“For those people who occupy it, who are diabetic, I applaud it… but for the other people who do it for vanity, they take away someone else’s right. I disagree,” he said firmly.

His colleagues in the program also shared close experiences.
A friend was mentioned who, after receiving his first injection of Ozempic, experienced severe side effects: “Headaches, vomiting, nausea… his temper is super sensitive and irritable”.
Unethical physicians
Buzzy
Chiquibaby also denounced the increasing availability of the drug in poorly regulated beauty clinics, especially in states such as Florida:
“Beauty clinic you go to, clinic where they put them on you,” she commented, warning about the risk of accessing medical treatments without proper supervision.
For this reason, he reiterated that the use of injections such as Ozempic should be done “in the hands of a doctor, of someone responsible, and that we know that it is a tool that works, but it is not for everyone”.
The message is clear: Ozempic and similar drugs can save lives, but their use must be informed, necessary and under medical supervision.
For the Hispanic community in the U.S., where obesity and diabetes disproportionately affect the Hispanic community, this is a necessary and urgent conversation.
