Ep. 22 - Ozempic, GLP-1s, and the Cost of Killing Appetite

Ozempic is everywhere. But what happens when appetite — for food, pleasure, joy, even desire — starts to disappear? In this episode of People Fuss, Carrie and Doug are joined by author and executive coach Stephanie Peirolo to unpack the cultural obsession with GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, weight loss masquerading as wellness, and what it means to be “healthy” in a world that’s deeply uncomfortable with women’s bodies.They talk about:✨ The difference between appetite and excess✨ Why desire is actually a form of intelligence✨ Feminism, thinness, aging, and conspicuous compliance✨ Body policing, joy, food, sex, and why “less” isn’t always betterIt’s thoughtful, funny, a little unhinged (in a good way), and ultimately about reclaiming the wisdom of the body in a culture that keeps telling us to shrink.
