The Problem with the Weight Loss Drugs That No One is Talking About

from Ask Mish! · host Michelle Blum

Send us Fan MailEveryone seems to be talking about the weight loss injectables- and everyone has super strong opinions. There are people who are on it and proud, people who are on them and feel like they are cheating, people who are not on them-but are jealous of those who are, people who would never, and people like me- who just are terrified of needles. No matter what your stance is, I think there is a bigger conversation to be had here- that is isn’t your fault if you feel like you need them. And it’s ok if you feel like you need them, but I promise you, you don’t. This question was a great opportunity to get on my little soap box and explain, I hope it gets everyone thinking a little differently, DM me on Instagram @MishOfNutrishMish and let me know your thoughts. Dear Mish,I am super curious your thoughts on the weight loss medications. I have struggled with weight most of my life. I was never someone who had a lot of willpower when it comes to food. It’s not that I didn’t want to be healthy or lose weight. I want it so badly, but in the moment, passing up food is so difficult for me. When my Dr. recommended I try Ozempic last year, I jumped on it. When I took it, it literally made me cry. I finally had willpower, the voices in my head that usually screamed at me to eat were gone . I have lost 60lbs and a part of me is so happy, but the other part of me is terrified. I know if I ever come off of this medication, the weight will just come back. My brain just doesn’t think about food in the same way that normal people do. Is there something wrong with me? Are there people out there like me who should be on this medication forever? Super curious your thoughts. *cracks knuckles* let's dive in!

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
