Beyond the Shot: The Psychology of GLP-1s

In this episode of The Shrink Down, we dive into the rise of GLP-1 medications, originally developed for diabetes but now widely used for weight loss. We explore the psychological impacts of these drugs, including how they can reduce “food noise” and influence mental health. The discussion also touches on the social dynamics and stigma surrounding weight loss medications and the importance of approaching the topic without judgment. Finally, we consider the long-term implications of GLP-1 use and the need for ongoing research and understanding.
