207: My Friends Are Using Ozempic. Should I?

Done with Dieting with Elizabeth Sherman

Have you ever wondered if the latest weight-loss miracle drugs are the answer to finally achieving the body and peace of mind you’ve been chasing—or if they might come with unexpected strings attached?

In this episode of the Total Health in Midlife Podcast, I explore the hype surrounding GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, which promise rapid weight loss. I unpack their appeal, from quieting food noise to delivering quick results, while highlighting the bigger picture often overlooked: what happens when you stop taking them, the emotional toll of weight regain, and the risks of relying on external fixes without addressing deeper issues.

Sharing my personal story of extreme dieting and bodybuilding, I reflect on how chasing thinness left her unfulfilled and underscores that true health and confidence go beyond the scale. Whether you’re considering these medications or seeking a sustainable approach, I emphasize the importance of cultivating self-compassion, sustainable habits, and a positive relationship with your body.

If you're ready to explore a holistic path to health, tune in and redefine what health looks like with me as your guide!
