The "Secret" to Success: Navigating Shame and Secrecy Around GLP-1 Use

Why do we whisper about weight loss medications when we proudly announce our new workout routines? The stigma surrounding medical approaches to weight management runs deep in our culture, and it's time we talked about it openly.

The Atlanta Wellness Clinic tackles this thorny issue head-on as licensed nutritionist Catina Wilson and co-host Millie explore the shame and secrecy that often accompanies GLP-1 medication use. Catina shares compelling insights about why medical support for weight management deserves the same respect as treatments for other health conditions. "You've got high blood pressure. Do we say that you shouldn't take medication for that?" she asks, challenging the double standard that pervades our thinking about obesity treatment.

Throughout this thoughtful conversation, we dismantle the notion that weight loss medications offer an "easy way out." Instead, Catina reframes these prescriptions as tools that level the playing field for those battling hormonal imbalances, genetic predispositions, or environmental factors beyond their control. The medications may quiet food noise and slow digestion, but patients still must do the work of developing sustainable habits, maintaining proper nutrition, and incorporating regular movement. For many, these medications provide their first real opportunity to build lasting healthy routines without fighting an uphill hormonal battle.
