Everyone is talking about GLP-1s, and most of what we hear comes from TikTok headlines, fear-mongering, or "it's the easy way out." Julissa sits down with her longtime friend Dr. Danielle DonDiego, a double board-certified family and obesity medicine physician, to get the real answers patients want. Together they cut through decades of diet culture to talk about what these medications actually do.

Danielle explains how GLP-1s work on hunger and satiety, what the pricing looks like now, who should be cautious, and why a prescription without proper care is a problem. It's an honest, all-sides conversation for anyone who's curious about this topic.

Talked about in this episode:

  • Diet culture, SlimFast, and the "personal failure" feeling
  • The "cheating" stigma and 20 years of GLP-1 research
  • Semaglutide vs. tirzepatide, and what's coming with retatrutide
  • Food noise: when the fullness switch doesn't flip
  • Getting a prescription vs. getting real care
  • Who isn't a good candidate for GLP-1s
