Description

I debated for a LONG time about whether to do a podcast episode about the injectable weight loss drugs.

Then something happened a couple of weeks ago that put me over the edge and I realized I HAD to do it. I talk about what it is in the episode.

Right up front I want to be clear that this episode is not medical advice. I am not qualified to give medical advice. Please speak to your doctor and ideally an endocrinologist or obesity medicine specialist to know if these drugs are right for you. 

While I’m not qualified to tell you whether these drugs are right for you, I am qualified to give you support and some guidelines to consider around your overall health and well being when it comes to fat loss. 

The truth is that for people with obesity these drugs can change lives and dramatically improve physical and mental health and quality of life. For people who are using them to lose 10-15 pounds, these drugs also have the potential to change lives, but not for the better. 

In this episode I talk about :

• The types of drugs, names and what they’re used for
• How they work
• Who they were meant for and why
• Why our environment is the primary driver of the increase in obesity
• Why people with obesity struggle with food and why the eat less/move more approach isn't helpful or realistic
• Why misusing these drugs can negatively impact your physical and mental health
• Who is qualified to provide support, consult on and prescribe these drugs and who you should seek out if you have questions about whether they’re right for you
• The negative impact of anti diet culture around people’s health and well being
