The new GLP-1 medications are everywhere it seems. You can't go a day without seeing or hearing an ad for one, and there seem to be new ones hitting the market on a regular basis. For many people, these meds are a miracle. If you're someone who's taking them and are finding them beneficial, that's truly wonderful.

But for others, especially those struggling with food and body concerns and those who can't or who choose not to take them, these medications and the emphasis on them can bring up a lot of confusion, grief, anger, and shame.

And that's what we're focusing on in this month's podcast. Since we tend to only see the smiling, happy faces in GLP-1 ads, we're going to focus on what's concerning about the medication. We're discussing:

• What are GLP-1s
• Why these medications aren't appropriate for those struggling with an eating disorder
• What the research says
• The physical and mental health concerns about the medication
• How to make your own decision about them
• Showing your parts and your body compassion

If you've struggled with whether or not to take these meds, if you've tried them and had little success, or if you can't take them but want to, take a listen!
