This week we’re re-releasing Heather’s conversation on GLP-1s featuring Lili Zarghami, founder of the online magazine Jenny. In this candid, unfiltered conversation Heather and Lili talk about their very different experiences with the popular weight loss drugs and the complicated realities of living in a woman's body.

From illness and aging to body shaming and the quiet mental load of trying to do everything exactly "right"—and still gaining weight—they unpack the promises and pitfalls of drugs like Mounjaro.

This isn’t a before-and-after story tied up in a pink bow. It’s about what happens when weight loss works, when it doesn’t, and why both outcomes can mess with your head.

Bonus: If you enjoy this episode, check out our September 3 episode, featuring Lili's return to the podcast to discuss her return to GLP-1 medication, this time in a different form and with different results.
