Weight loss injections. They're everywhere. But are they the answer? In today's episode, fellow nutrition professional Aoife McMahon and I discuss this and more.

We speak about:

• Why Aoife moved from a weight-centric to a weight-inclusive approach

• What weight loss injections are

• Whether or not this medication results in long-term weight loss

• The potential risks and side effects of weight-loss injections

• The potential impact on one's relationship with food

• Whether or not they improve health outcomes

• Some critiques and thoughts around what needs to change when it comes to weight 'issues'

This episode is not a place where Aoife or I will be shaming anyone who is considering weight-loss injections, has taken them in the past or is currently taking them. Education and informed consent are very important when making a decision about your health. This episode aims to support you in that so that you can do what's best for you.
