So while these meds can deliver dramatic results, they're not without risks. Doctors often recommend regular scans or blood tests, and say anyone experiencing sharp pain in the upper right side of their tummy, nausea, or fever should get checked out urgently. Still, Em has no regrets. She says the gallbladder scare was a small price to pay for getting her life back. Fat jabs hitting shelves soon The so-called 'fat jab' revolution is officially under way and it could change the way Brits tackle weight loss for good. For the first time ever, family doctors across England are now dishing out the powerful new weight-loss injection Mounjaro, as part of a major NHS shake-up to fight obesity. The drug, which contains the active ingredient tirzepatide, is being dubbed the strongest slimming jab yet and more than three million people could be eligible to get it on prescription. It's a landmark move in the war on waistlines, with obesity levels in England more than doubling since the 90s. Until now, similar injections like Ozempic and Wegovy were mainly reserved for type 2 diabetics or available through pricey private clinics. But from now on, GPs will be encouraged to prescribe them to those at greatest risk — a move health bosses hope will slash sick days, boost the economy, and help cut rates of cancer, heart disease and dementia. Not everyone qualifies, though. Only those with the highest health risks are likely to get the green light. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines. Top priority will go to patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more or 37.5 for people from certain ethnic backgrounds and who have at least four obesity-linked health conditions. That includes things like high blood pressure, cholesterol, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea and heart disease. Doctors are also expected to check whether patients have first tried to lose weight through diet and exercise before offering the jab. Despite the huge hype, not all GPs will be able to hand them out and even if you qualify, you might be told to wait or referred to a specialist clinic instead. Experts are warning that while the jabs can be a game-changer, they're not a magic fix. Side effects can range from mild nausea to more serious complications, and not everyone will tolerate them well. And with demand through the roof, many Brits are turning to the private route. Of course, always remember that too-good-to-be-true prices, quick-check applications and zero aftercare are all major warning signs. Experts say if you are thinking about going private, do your homework and don't gamble with your health for a quick fix.

Eminem's Introspective ‘Stans' Documentary Drops in Cinemas Next Month

Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. If you're anything like me you likely spent the majority of your childhood bouncing off the walls to whatever Eminem dropped that week, and while the man's discography has only grown in the intervening years, Slim's largely done his best to stay fairly anonymous. Yes, he launched the fantastic based-on-true-events 8-Mile, but despite the fact that film traced Eminem's life before he blew up—it was also pretty dramatised. Well, we love a good doco here, and Em's long-awaited Stans is about ready to release: it's launching into US cinemas on 7 August for one weekend only, before finding a home on Paramount+ later this year. If you don't know what Stans is: it's a deep look into the life of the still-polarising rapper through the lens of some of his most devout and diehard fans. The man himself is involved, of course, but Stans very much centres his impact on the world of music through the people who've followed him the closest. If that tickles your fancy, or if you just want to know more about what Eminem is up to these days, read on. What's 'Stans' About? With a sly wink, this Marshall Mathers-produced film is named after one of Eminem's most impactful and memorable songs, 'Stan'. Found on the artists third studio album, Stan details an incredibly toxic parasocial relationship between the titular narrator and Em himself, who eventually realises that he let his fan down. The song has been so impactful that it literally changed our language: the term 'stan' was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017, meaning someone that obsessively loves someone or something. Naming a documentary focusing on the fans that love you after a song detailing a mentally unhinged toxic fan is quite a mood, but the people involved seem to be okay with it. Most call themselves 'stans', though not quite on the same level as the namesake, while also detailing the lengths they've gone to to witness Eminem's life themselves, including trips to visit physical places that Marshal Mathers grew up—pilgrimages in all but name. Eminem himself feels a bit uncomfortable with the idea that people care so much about his life's story, and the film details some disturbing letters from the overly zealous 'Stans' in his audience. In saying that, the film doesn't necessarily put his fanbase on blast: but rather focuses on what a more healthy relationship might look like. Stans also details the life of Mathers himself: offering a more detailed look into his upbringing, his rise to fame, and the impact his music had on the world. Of course, all through the eyes of his fans, though with some first-person accounts from the man himself for good measure. It's not a critical look into Eminem's career though, nor into his sometimes homophobic, sexist lyrics: this is made by fans, for fans, after all. If that sounds interesting, look out for the at-home release date soon. The History of 'Stan' A song as impactful as Stan must have quite an origin story, right? Well, it all started when one of the song's producers, 'The 45 King', heard Dido's 'Thank You' on the 1998 film 'Sliding Doors'. Taken by the chorus, King made up a beat by sampling the song and shared it with contacts at Interscope Records, who eventually shared it with Eminem. Again, Dido's amazing lyrics caught Eminem's eyes, who felt the song's refrain of 'put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad' was well suited to a song reflecting some of the often disturbing interactions he'd personally had with his own fan base. Though his music is often laced with vitriolic, violent lyrics, Eminem was keen to try to send a message to his listeners to not take his words so seriously or literally. 'I knew what I was going to write about before I wrote it,' Mathers told Genius about the writing of Stan. 'A lot of times when I'm writing songs, I see visions for everything I'm writing. This was one of those.' The song went on to become one of Mathers' signature songs, and literally define the meaning of an overly obsessive fan. It follows Stanley Mitchell, a devout fan of Eminem who frequently sends fan mail in an attempt to get a response: something he feels he is owed, as he sees himself as Em's biggest fan. The rest of Stan's life crumbles around him as he singularly obsesses over his non-existent relationship with the rapper, which eventually sees him murder himself and his girlfriend by driving his car into a river. In the mythos of the story, Eminem later attempts to write back to Stan, warning him about his obsessive tendencies and deteriorating mental health, before realising he'd seen a news story on the song's namesake just weeks prior. You'd think that's where the story ends, but Eminem actually wrote a sequel to 'Stan': one which picks up years later and sees Stan's bereft little brother Matthew track Eminem down, kidnap him, and take revenge for the death of his brother in the song 'Bad Guy'. It's no Stan, but it's not terrible. When Can I Watch 'Stans'? Stans will launch in AMC theatres in the US, and worldwide, on Thursday, August 7 for one weekend. Later this year it'll be available on Paramount+, so keep an eye out.

Eminem's ‘STANS' Documentary Is Hitting Theaters for One Weekend Only: Watch the Teaser Trailer
The Eminem-produced STANS documentary detailing the inner workings of superfandom is slated to arrive in the U.S. on Aug. 7, and the film will be in just over 135 AMC theaters for one weekend only through Aug. 10. Directed by Steven Leckart, STANS debuted to applause from critics at the inaugural SXSW London Screen Festival in June. U.S. tickets are available for purchase now along with the soundtrack's pre-order, which boasts previously unreleased music, while international tickets will go on sale on July 24. For global fans, Trafalgar Releasing is set to launch STANS in more than 50 territories and 1,600 theaters worldwide also on Aug. 7. More from Billboard Here's Why Eminem Is Credited on Justin Bieber's 'SWAG' Album Ulta's Big Summer Beauty Sale is Happening Now - Here's How to Score Major Deals on Armani, Lancome & More How to Find Oasis Reunion World Tour Tickets Online The trailer delivers a snapshot of images and visuals throughout Em's career while he's being peppered with popular questions from fans about his personal life, family, music and fame. To close out the clip, he sits down for what appears to be an interview. 'What's your first question?' he asks. STANS is set to examine Eminem's iconic career through the eyes of his most rabid fans over his nearly three decades in the spotlight. Slim Shady's prominent collaborators contributed to the doc along with the fans, whom he provided the soundtrack to their lives. The documentary was based on the 2000 hit of the same name, 'Stan,' which arrived in May that year as the third single from The Marshall Mathers LP. Produced by 45 King, the storytelling track about an obsessive fan peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has more than 1 billion streams on Spotify. 'Stan' has even become common vernacular in the music world for crazed fans, as the word was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2019. Eminem made his participation official when he took to social media in 2024 to call for his most diehard fans to get involved. In addition to Em's Shady Films, DIGA Studios, Fuqua Films and MTV Entertainment Studios are all on board as producers of the poignant documentary. Watch the STANS teaser trailer below.
