TOMEI MOUNJARO: A FEBRE (E OS MEMES) DAS CANETAS EMAGRECEDORAS

PIX: [email protected] I took Mounjaro. This video is my account—and a report on the phenomenon that is changing Brazil. I was the overweight teenager weighing 100 kilos, I returned obese from England, I created strategies to hide in front of the camera even though I was a television journalist. Today, after completing my treatment with tirrizepatide, I speak openly about what this medication did for me—and about what it is doing to the country. In this episode, I mix two perspectives: Nelson's, who experiences fatphobia from the inside, and Garrone's, who observes Brazil becoming an open-air laboratory for the so-called "slimming pen." 🎙️ WHAT'S IN THIS VIDEO: — The memes, the absurd stories on social media, and the "cult" that formed around the drug — The Friendship Bridge, the trafficking from Paraguay, the clandestine factories, the women arrested with 560 ampoules in their bodies — Anvisa (Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency), the bribery with pens in Brasília, the first municipality to approve free distribution — ​​Why Mounjaro is a revolution comparable to the birth control pill and PrEP — "Emotional hunger" and "food noise": the concepts that helped me understand my own life — Why I still have difficulty seeing myself as "ex-fat" even after losing weight — and what therapy has to do with it — The future: fatphobia, income cuts, public policy, and the question that needs to be asked of candidates in 2026 This is not a medical video. I don't prescribe anything. I don't sell anything. There's no link in the description for you to click and buy anything. It's an account—and a journalistic account—of a phenomenon affecting the lives of millions of Brazilians, even those who have never even been near a syringe. If you are overweight, formerly overweight, thinking about starting, know someone who is, or just want to understand why the whole of Brazil is talking about this: sit down. This video is long, it's personal, and it might be the most important one I've ever made on this channel. ⚠️ WARNING: This video is a personal and journalistic account. It does not replace medical advice. I do not take or recommend the use of any medication without professional supervision. Always consult an endocrinologist. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📍 ABOUT THE CHANNEL Garrone's Column is where Nelson Garrone — journalist, international correspondent for CNN Portugal and TVI — comments on Brazil, the world, and social media.
