Are weight loss drugs really the “magic fix” social media makes them out to be? In this episode, Melissa Abouchakra and Rebecca dig into the myths surrounding weight loss medications, especially GLP-1 drugs, and share what isn’t being talked about enough.

You’ll learn:

• Why weight loss drugs don’t work the same for everyone
• How genetics, hormones, and lifestyle impact your results
• Why appetite suppression doesn’t address emotional eating or underlying habits
• The reality of long-term use — and what happens when you stop
• How mental health and root causes of weight gain fit into the bigger picture
• The role of sustainable lifestyle changes in lasting weight management

This conversation is for anyone considering medication, already taking it, or feeling confused by the hype online. We’re cutting through the noise so you can make informed, personal, and shame-free choices about your health.

Sound Bites:

• “You can’t follow a diet forever.”

• “It doesn’t stop overeating.”

• “You have to do the work.”
