We say we shouldn’t comment on women’s bodies. And I agree.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth: women’s bodies are commented on, every single day.

So what happens when weight loss is publicly praised, medicalized, and celebrated especially when it’s achieved through GLP-1 medications used solely for aesthetic weight loss?

In this episode, I unpack why I think it is worth critically examining GLP-1 use when there’s no medical indication & why silence doesn’t actually protect women.

We discuss:

• Whether thinner is automatically assumed to be healthier

• If people understand what it takes to maintain weight below set point

• The metabolic and hormonal consequences of chronic underfueling

• Why weight loss praise reinforces harm—especially for women in larger bodies

• And whether true body respect means asking harder questions, not fewer

This is not about shame.
It’s about informed consent, long-term health, and refusing the idea that thinness equals virtue.
