Beyond GLP-1: A Triumph of Marketing Over Patient Care with Louise Adams

The drugs have been sold as a miracle. The science has been quietly shaped by the companies profiting from them. And the deaths are not yet being called a scandal.

Clinical psychologist Louise Adams co-authored a paper that has already been read more than 7,500 times in its first ten days. She joins me to trace the three-pronged pharmaceutical marketing strategy behind GLP-1 drugs, follow the money through conflict-of-interest research, celebrity spokespeople, and government lobbying, and tell us what real informed consent would actually require.

Beyond GLP-1: Can Intuitive Eating and GLP-1 Co-exist? with Sam Previte

Your clients are going to bring GLP-1 into the room whether you are ready or not. The only question is whether you have a clinical framework for it.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Previte — registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, and founder of Find Food Freedom. We go through what this intersection actually looks like clinically: how GLP-1 affects hunger, fullness, satisfaction, food noise, and body image — and what weight-neutral coaching looks like inside all of it. Sam's team is already seeing the first wave of clients coming off these medications. The work you do with clients now determines what happens when they do.

Body Positivity & Fat Activism in the "Ozempic Era" with Virgie Tovar 

GLP-1s did not just change medicine. They changed a movement.

Virgie Tovar is a weight stigma expert, activist, and journalist who has been watching this unfold from a perspective most voices in this conversation don't have. In this episode, she traces exactly what happened to body positivity and fat activism when Ozempic entered the room, and she does not soften the analysis.

What Does Science Really Say About GLP-1 with Ragen Chastain

The science on GLP-1 drugs is not what the marketing says it is.

Ragen Chastain has been studying weight science, weight stigma, and healthcare practice for over 20 years. In this episode, she gives us the clearest breakdown yet of what the research actually supports — as of May 2026 — and how to tell the difference between evidence and pharmaceutical strategy.

So What About Body Image & ED In a World of GLP-1 with Marci Evans

GLP-1 medications are being prescribed with no eating disorder screening and no monitoring. What could go wrong? According to eating disorder specialist and registered dietitian Marci Evans, quite a lot.

Marci has spent her career at the intersection of body image and eating disorder care. In this conversation, she shares what she is actually seeing in her clinical practice and why it frightens her.

Deep Dive Into Weight Stigma in the GLP-1 Era with Dr. Angela Meadows

The Ozempic era did not create weight stigma. It just showed us how shallow the acceptance always was.

Dr. Angela Meadows is a social psychologist, weight stigma researcher, and founder of the International Weight Stigma Conference. She has spent her career studying how weight stigma operates at the individual, relational, and systemic level. In this conversation, she brings her research lens directly to the GLP-1 moment.

Anhedonia, Food Noise and Behavior Change Science with Olivia Palmer

GLP-1 medications are changing how people experience food. What no one is telling you is they may also be changing how people experience everything else.

In this episode I sit down with Olivia Palmer, chartered health psychologist and behavioral science specialist, to look at what these drugs are actually doing to the brain. Not the metabolic picture — the psychological one. We get into anhedonia, the flattening of the reward system, and what happens when the drive that was dampened for food also dampens motivation, connection, and the desire to pursue a meaningful life.
