Everyone's Trying to Lose Weight (Again!): How to Stay Connected to Your Recovery

If it feels like everyone around you is suddenly on a GLP-1, talking about weight loss, or shrinking their body... you're not imagining it. And if you're in eating disorder recovery or working to heal your relationship with food, it makes sense that this season feels especially hard.

In this episode, we're talking about why GLP-1 medications can feel so triggering, how to navigate the grief and comparison they can bring up, and—most importantly—how to stay connected to yourself and your recovery in the middle of it all.

This isn't an anti-GLP-1 episode. It's a compassionate conversation for anyone who has chosen a different path and is wondering how to protect their peace while everyone around them seems to be chasing weight loss.

In this episode, we'll cover:

• Why GLP-1s can feel so activating during eating disorder or disordered eating recovery

• The psychology behind comparison and social modeling

• How to practice body neutrality even when it's hard

• Practical tools to stay grounded when weight loss conversations are everywhere

• How to respond when friends or family bring up GLP-1s

• Ways to strengthen self-trust instead of getting pulled back into diet culture

Whether you're recovering from an eating disorder, healing chronic dieting, or simply trying to build a healthier relationship with food and your body, I hope this episode reminds you that you don't have to follow what everyone else is doing to care for yourself well.

The Perspective Shift on Health & Fitness That We All Need

This week I’m joined by Kate Lyman and Michael Ulloa from the How to Fitness podcast for a conversation about wellness culture, sustainable health habits, and what happens when “being healthy” starts becoming less about authentic health — and more about optimization and chasing wellness trends.

We talk about:

• how rigid ideas about health can actually keep people stuck and lead to disordered eating patterns

• the pressure to do fitness and nutrition “optimally” and why it's BS

• the importance of flexibility within a sustainable approach to health

• why evidence-based health matters immesly in a world full of food-fear, weird trends, and constant wellness marketing

• the impact of obsessing over “health” and what people miss out on when their lives become consumed by self-monitoring

• how orthorexia, wellness culture, and disordered eating patterns can quietly reinforce perfectionism, fear, and control

• how to become a more conscious consumer of health and wellness content — and the red flags to watch for

• which habits actually support a healthy and fulfilling life (and which ones are mostly noise)

• why so many people feel emotionally attached to control around food and exercise

This conversation felt like such an important reminder that health is supposed to support your life — not become your entire life.

This is about more flexibility, self-awareness, nuance, joy, and actually finding what works for your real life.

Health can be fun!!

I’m sharing the deepest dive I’ve ever done into my own story — from body obsession, bulimia, orthorexia, perfectionism, purity culture, and disembodiment… to healing, self-trust, mindfulness, and finally feeling at home in myself again.

In this episode, we talk about:

• growing up in diet culture + purity culture
• childhood sexual abuse and disconnection from the body
• restriction, body checking, and calorie counting
• how my eating disorder escalated in college
• wellness culture and orthorexia
• the overlap between perfectionism, control, and “health”
• how yoga and mindfulness helped me reconnect with myself
• what actually helped me heal

My hope is that somewhere in my story, you see pieces of your own and feel a little less alone.

Because healing is possible.
And life gets so much fuller when your body is no longer the center of everything.
