3:51 am
don't need them at all. people trying to fit into dresses and wanting to lose the vanity weight. and that's not really what these were made for. >> what are some of the most unusual places that you've heard of people being able to get these drugs? >> the hair salon. >> oh, come on. >> yeah. one of my colleagues forwarded me an e-mail from her hair salon basically saying come get a blow dry and get your ozempic. >> reporter: but the hair salon isn't the only place where drugs like ozempic are making an impression. >> this is certainly has not escaped wall street's attention. >> definitely not. >> reporter: semien segal is a senior analyst at bmo capital markets. he says glp-1 drugs could be a goldmine for investors. >> in terms of one product that had the potential to affect this many industries have you ever seen something like this? >> i don't know the numbers, but i wonder if the iphone.
3:52 am
>> you think this could have as big an impact as the iphone? >> if at end of the day it becomes something as widely accessible it should have a very large impact. >> reporter: with people thinner, he invisions a ripple effect. a potential boom in ath leisure wear. even in gym memberships. >> it's sort of intuitive that ozempic might be the death knell for gyms. who needs a gym? >> my hypothesis with anecdotal evidence is when someone hasn't been fit starts becoming fit they change their life to make sure they're protecting and truly being fit. >> reporter: so instead of canceling the gym membership they would tend to sign up. >> yeah. >> reporter: he says analysts even blue sky about a big boost for the airlines. since lighter passengers could mean lower costs. but all this depends on the drugs being widely available, which currently is far from a given.

3:55 am
sugar. it can help protect their heart. >> i think society is stuck on what your body why looks like, not so much concerned about the inside or your health. >> reporter: and those she is quite happy with what her body looks like now, laquita clark says feeling better on the inside is the most important part. if that involves taking medication, so be it. >> my focus on my goal is to be around for some years to see my children and my grandchildren grow up. so i don't care about what society thinks or what female are saying
