Read the companion blog post to this episode with all the details.

In this episode we discuss the often-overlooked psychological impacts of using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, highlighting that these treatments involve more than just physical changes. They explain the significant "mental load" patients experience, including the profound shift when "food noise" quiets, which can be both liberating and disorienting. 

We discuss and explore the complexities of body image as the body changes rapidly, noting issues like loose skin and "phantom fat," and address the potential for emotional fluctuations like anxiety or changes in mood. Finally, they emphasize the importance of seeking support, developing new coping strategies, and adopting a holistic approach to health that integrates both physical and mental well-being on this treatment journey.
