E37 - Ozempic & Your Mental Health

Break the Psycle
About this episode

Let's dive into the rise of GLP-1 medications and what they mean for both the body and the mind. From Serena Williams stepping in as the face of Ro’s GLP-1 campaign, to Kyla’s personal weight loss journey, we explore the intersections of medicine, celebrity culture, and lived experience.


We dig into the societal norms, stigma, and cultural narratives surrounding weight loss and how they shape our sense of health, beauty, and self-worth.

This conversation goes beyond the prescriptions, unpacking how identity, expectations, and mindset collide when the world is rewriting the rules of wellness.
