and you shouldn’t feel any shame for using science, or the advancement of medicine, to improve your health and quality of life. Here’s why ⤵️
Obesity is not a willpower issue.
Biology plays a role! Some bodies are naturally hungrier and have a harder time reaching fullness (influencing how much a person consumes), and when prescribed under the right circumstances, GLP-1 medications can help to correct imbalances and make weight loss more achievable for those who struggle.
GLP-1 medications do not replace healthy habits. 🙂↔️
They simply help to level the playing field for people whose biology makes weight loss harder. Creating and sustaining healthy eating habits is still required ✅ in order to create, and maintain, positive health outcomes. In fact, when taking a GLP-1, some healthy habits (like protein intake and strength training) become even more important.
Choosing to use GLP-1s (assuming you meet the criteria and have considered the risks), or weight loss support of any kind (therapist, Nutrition Coach, etc.) to support your health and quality of life is NOT you should be ashamed of.
