How to Cope with GLP-1s, Weight Loss Trends, and “Skinny Culture” Triggers / Ep 147

We’re in an era where GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere. On TV, in social media feeds, at the doctor’s office, and in everyday conversations. And while these medications may be helpful or even life-changing for some, they’re also bringing up a lot of complicated feelings for many others, especially those who are choosing not to take them, or are trying to navigate their use in a weight-centric world. This episode holds space for those feelings. We’re not here to judge anyone’s decisions. Whether you’re on a GLP-1, thinking about it, or actively avoiding it, this conversation is for you. Because no matter what, you're making decisions in a culture steeped in weight stigma, misinformation, and unrealistic expectations.
