Has Ozempic killed body inclusivity?
Manage episode 499589583 series 2615007
Ozempic has entered the group chat. Since GLP-1 agonist drugs burst onto the scene, they've been hailed as a weight-loss game changer, but they've also raised uncomfortable questions about what bodies are acceptable, or not.
For years, the body inclusivity movement pushed back against the idea that only thin bodies can be 'healthy' but Ozempic & co are drowning out this message.
So, what do these drugs mean for fat liberation? And how can we shift our collective thinking around weight and morality?
Yumi Stynes chats to a panel of amazing women about the impact of this new generation of weight-loss drugs and how we can all find ways to be kinder to our bodies.
Featured in this conversation:
- Dr Emma Beckett, nutritionist
- Evie Gardiner, size inclusivity advocate
- Nat Atkinson, Mum, taking Wegovy
