Weight loss injections. They’re everywhere. But are they the answer? In today’s episode, fellow nutrition professional Aoife McMahon and I discuss this and more.
We speak about:
-
Why Aoife moved from a weight-centric to a weight-inclusive approach
-
What weight loss injections are
-
Whether or not this medication results in long-term weight loss
-
The potential risks and side effects of weight-loss injections
-
The potential impact on one’s relationship with food
-
Whether or not they improve health outcomes
-
Some critiques and thoughts around what needs to change when it comes to weight ‘issues’
This episode is not a place where Aoife or I will be shaming anyone who is considering weight-loss injections, has taken them in the past or is currently taking them. Education and informed consent are very important when making a decision about your health. This episode aims to support you in that so that you can do what's best for you.
