Dear Runner Bod,

Everyone Is Shrinking… And You’re Not? Let’s Talk About It.


Listen Later

It feels like everyone around you is getting smaller.

And even if you logically know that shrinking ≠ health… it can still mess with your head.

In this episode, I’m talking about the emotional and psychological impact of living in a world where GLP-1 medications are becoming more common, and bodies are changing quickly around us. As a runner who is intentionally fueling your body for performance, recovery, and long-term health… this can feel disorienting, triggering, and honestly? A little threatening to your identity.

We’re diving into:

  • Why the “shrinking around you” effect can feel so activating
    • How diet culture beliefs can quietly resurface (even when you’ve done the work)
      • The identity shift of choosing a fueled body over a smaller one
        • Why your discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong or “being a bad person”
          • How to process these feelings without abandoning yourself
          • This is your reminder: you’re allowed to feel conflicted and stay committed to fueling your body well.
