PART 3 - When You’re Considering a GLP-1: The Remarkable Benefits & Surprising Risks
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, Harley Dickey, joins us in Part 3 to discuss their lived experience of gender-affirming care through GLP-1s. In this episode, we break down what gender-affirming care really means—including how it applies to cisgender individuals—and explore the stigma surrounding body image and gender identity shaped by culture and upbringing. You’ll gain insight into approaching conversations about gender with curiosity and compassion, as well as the value of seeking credible information and engaging with others in a respectful, informed way.
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.
