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.
