Welcome to the HealED Podcast! The place where nutrition science meets food psychology and body image to support you in having a great relationship with food and your body. I'm your host, Marie-Pier, and we're thrilled to have Katherine Metzelaar, a Seattle-based eating disorder registered dietitian and CEO/Founder of Bravespace Nutrition.   Today, we are diving into one of the biggest topics of 2023....OZEMPIC. The goal of this conversation is to provide information. It is not our goal to tell you what you should or should not do. AND, we believe in informed consent.   Our conversation today delves into the complexities surrounding Ozempic, weight loss promises, Distribution issues, and impact on folks with eating disorders. Tune in as we discuss: [00:03:40] The controversial role of Ozempic and semiglutide within the weight loss industry. [00:17:25] The emergence of compounding pharmacies and the quest for regulation. [00:28:50] Diet culture's harmful narratives and their connection to hustle mentality. [00:39:40] The medicalization of weight loss and problematic healthcare perspectives. [00:52:15] Addressing weight stigma and the responsible use of weight management drugs.   We invite you to listen and share your thoughts on this episode.
