#540 Weight loss drug envy

About this episode

The episode discusses the emotional challenges of comparing weight loss journeys, particularly in relation to GLP-1 medication.

In this episode, we get honest about a feeling many of us have had but few of us dare to say out loud: the complicated, painful emotion of watching someone lose weight quickly on GLP-1 medication while we struggle with the same goal the "old fashioned way." We cover: why this feeling is completely valid and what it's really telling you; the truth about the uneven biological playing field; five questions to ask yourself to move through comparison; and practical steps to protect your own journey and motivation.
