Feeling Skeptical About GLP-1s?
A free 25-minute workshop for people navigating their food & body image when it seems like EVERYONE ELSE is taking weight loss drugs
You’re not against people taking them.
You’re just not sure they’re right for you.
Maybe a doctor suggested it. Maybe your mom, a friend, or Serena Williams, or maybe it’s just the constant chatter about people shrinking.
But something in you keeps saying: I don’t think this is for me.
Or maybe you’re taking a GLP-1 now and you know it’s not a long term option for you. You’re trying to figure out what comes next or decide if it’s worth it to keep going.
Underneath all of it, food has felt complicated for a long time.
Watching Others Shrink Is Not Easy
The amount of people going on these medications and dropping weight rapidly (celebs, regular folks, big and small) is feeling upsetting and sometimes alarming. If you’re struggling with it, you’re not crazy or petty or behind.
You’re picking up on something very real.
Body trends have always shifted, but they’ve never moved this fast, or gone this far in one direction.
What’s considered a normal, healthy body keeps narrowing. And when the standard moves this quickly and this extremely, it’s unnerving. This is especially true for anyone who has spent real time and energy trying to make peace with their body as it is.
And you’ve got to ask – is this harming us?
If These Sound Familiar, You’re Not Alone.
- You’re watching people shrink around you and feeling quietly (or loudly) destabilized by it
- You’ve spent years trying to eat “right” and you’re exhausted by it
- You know diet culture is toxic, but you still obsess about what to eat
- You are confused about the pros and cons of trying GLP-1s
- You’re tired of feeling like food is the one thing you should have figured out by now
This workshop is for you if…
You're watching everyone around you go on weight loss drugs
Something about it doesn’t sit right with you, but you also worry you’re being naive. You don’t feel confident that you shouldn’t… but are just confused.
You've been told, or you've told yourself, that maybe you should just try it.
And part of you is tempted. But another part of you knows that shrinking your body has never actually made you feel at home in it and you’re pretty sure this is more of the same and has the potential to make things worse.
You have a complicated history with food
The idea of never thinking about it again sounds like relief… but also sorta sounds miserable. You want to enjoy eating!
What You’ll Walk Away With
In 25 minutes, you’ll understand:
What GLP-1 medications actually do, who they're designed for, and what the research really says about stopping them
Why food noise, binge eating, and the restrict-binge cycle aren't willpower problems or just about "urges" and what's driving them
What's happening with body perception in our culture right now and why it's making the work of accepting your body so much harder
Why the greatest predictor of weight gain over a lifetime isn't what you eat. It's something else entirely
What a real, lasting alternative to the GLP-1s and dieting actually looks like, and what it takes to get there
“I have so much more mental space to think about what I actually want to be thinking about.”

Still Wondering If This Is For You?
This workshop is for you if you’ve ever felt relieved at the thought of never thinking about food again. But that also sounds like a life you don’t want to live.
If you’ve done the diets, done the work, and still feel like something isn’t resolved.
If you’re not sure if you should write them off and what to say to your mom when she suggests them. You’re not sure GLP-1s are the answer but you don’t know what else to do. If you’re tired of this taking up so much space in your life.

Words From Others
Mallory
“This work shifted my view so much. I can treat my body kindly with good nutrition while also accepting it in its current size — not some ideal future version.”
Lindsey
“I didn’t realize how much I was still stuck in guilt and shoulds and how that was keeping me stuck losing and gaining the same 30 pounds every year. I finally have language for what I’ve felt for years.”
Sam
“I felt so seen and validated. For the first time, I understood that my patterns with food weren’t a personal failure, they were survival strategies. Mind blown.”
Let’s dive into what’s happening here.
