In this episode of the Body Trust Podcast, hosts Dana, Hillary and Sirius discuss all things GLP-1’s. The conversation covers the historical and contextual background of weight loss drugs, their evolving use from diabetes treatment to weight management, and their little-talked about potential risks and side effects. The hosts emphasize the importance of informed consent, highlight the societal and systemic issues surrounding weight loss culture, and critique the seductive marketing tactics of pharmaceutical companies. They also discuss the impact of these drugs on different communities and stress the significance of finding supportive communities that promote body inclusivity and challenge oppressive systems.
