GLP-1s, Peptides & Why Everyone's Talking About Them

June 8, 2026 · 21 min

Show notes

In this episode, we're diving into one of the most talked-about topics right now: GLP-1s, peptides, weight loss medications, and the stigma that comes with them.

We talk about why people are turning to these treatments, whether it's for health, aesthetics, or a little bit of both, and why admitting you're using a weight-loss medication still seems more controversial than admitting you've had Botox. We also discuss the differences between GLP-1s, dieting, personal trainers, and weight-loss surgery—and whether society views some methods as more "acceptable" than others.

Plus, Terri may or may not be considering jumping on the peptide train, so naturally, we had thoughts.

It's a candid, funny, and surprisingly philosophical conversation about health, appearance, judgment, and why we're all a little obsessed with how other people lose weight.


🎙️ In This Episode:

• GLP-1s and peptides: health tool or beauty treatment?

• Why there's still stigma around weight-loss medication

• Does society treat thinness as a moral achievement?

• Terri's thoughts on trying peptides
