Dr. Lisa Erlanger returns to the podcast for a conversation with Julie Church, RDN, CD on GLP-1 agonists, medications widely prescribed for weight loss. Through a weight-inclusive lens, Lisa explains GLP-1 agonists history, current use, and side effects with a special attention given to the unique considerations for individuals with current or past eating disorders.  Spoiler alert— these medications are not game changers, bodies still need food and nourishment to thrive! Despite what the shiny marketing says about these being “miracle drugs”, safe and long-term weight suppression is not possible.
