PART 2 - When You’re Considering a GLP-1: The Remarkable Benefits & Surprising Risks
*TW: This episode discusses eating disorders and disordered eating patterns. If you have a history with eating disorders, please listen with caution.
In this episode, we're continuing our 4-part series on the new groundbreaking medication that's taking the nation by storm: GLP-1s. Special guest and Registered Dietitian, Gretchen Zimmermann, joins us in Part 2 to discuss the nutritional and clinical precautions that should be considered when taking a GLP-1, especially patients with a history of eating disorders. We also discuss the pervasive societal issues that play into GLP-1s, including the treatment of obese people in society, how GLP-1s may be perpetuating diet culture, and what we can do to strike a balance between true body positivity and health.
Whether you're considering a GLP-1, currently taking one, or know someone who is, this series is sure to be powerful and informative.
Let's make some damn lemonade.
