🎙️ Episode 21: The GLP-1 “Skinny” Shame
The stigma is real - and it’s hurting people who need help. We feel it daily online, the shame, the bullying, the abuse, so we are talking about it here.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the rising wave of GLP-1 “skinny” shame - from strangers online making unsolicited comments about people’s bodies, to healthcare professionals casually calling it “the skinny jab” as if it’s a fad instead of a legitimate medical treatment.
We’ll talk about:
Why these labels are fuelling shame and misinformation.
The ripple effect on people who feel too embarrassed to seek medical support.
How shame keeps people stuck in cycles of silence, self-blame, and unhealthy coping.
Where to turn if you’re using GLP-1 and need a safe, non-judgemental space for guidance.
This is a conversation we need to have - because no one should be made to feel ashamed for seeking the tools that help them reclaim their health.
If you are on a GLP-1 like Ozempic, Mounjaro or Wegovy (or maybe considering it) then this one is for you.
