How GLP-1 Medications Are Changing the Way Americans Travel

Welcome to the brave new world of Ozempic travel.

The number of Americans now taking GLP-1 drugs has more than doubled in the last 16 months.

According to the latest research by PwC, a staggering 21% of U.S. households now include a GLP-1 user.

That has resulted in some major behavior changes when it comes to travel.

People are eating less at restaurants, sharing dishes, drinking less alcohol, buying new clothes in smaller sizes, and traveling more.

Another surprising side effect? Airlines now report saving between 1-2% on fuel costs because the planes are lighter.
