GLP-1 medications
(Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.)
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are changing the way many people experience hunger, weight, and health, and they’re also raising big questions about food, body image, self-worth, and long-term wellbeing.
At Beyond the Bathroom Scale®, I don’t promote, encourage or prescribe GLP-1s, but I do offer support for those who are using them, for any reason. Whether you’re taking these medications by choice, on medical advice, or with mixed feelings, you deserve compassionate, non-judgmental care that meets you where you’re at.
This page offers a collection of balanced, therapist-informed articles exploring:
The emotional and psychological side of GLP-1 use
Changes in appetite, eating patterns, and food relationships
Body image shifts, weight stigma, and identity
The broader impact of these medications on diet culture
You'll also find reflections on the risks, limitations, and long-term considerations of GLP-1s — without fearmongering, shame, or one-size-fits-all thinking.
Because healing isn’t about taking sides.
It’s about supporting you with honesty, curiosity, and care.
