"Challenging Fat Shaming Culture: The Limitations of Ozempic"

TL;DR Summary
Dr. Mara Gordon, a family physician, shares her concerns about the overselling of weight-loss medications like Ozempic and the perpetuation of fat phobia in society and medicine. Despite the medical benefits of GLP-1 medications for certain conditions, she emphasizes that they don't address the harms of diet culture, distorted body image, and pervasive weight stigma. Dr. Gordon advocates for a shift towards appreciating diverse bodies and addressing biases rather than medicating to take up less space.
