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


Listen Later

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.

In this episode:

  • Why seeing GLP-1 use everywhere can be triggering—even if you support body neutrality
  • The influence of diet culture, media, and peer pressure on health decisions
  • Personal reflections on navigating this era in a larger body
  • Questions to ask yourself before making health-related decisions
  • How self-compassion and boundary-setting can protect your mental health
  • Reframing weight loss narratives: why thin doesn’t always mean healthy
  • A reminder that you don’t know anyone’s full story
