The Link Between GLP-1 Drugs and Body Image Distortion After Weight Loss

Patients using GLP-1 agonist drugs for weight loss, such as Wegovy and Ozempic, have reported experiencing a distorted body image as a side effect. Experts explain that it takes time for individuals to accept and integrate their new bodies after rapid weight loss. The disconnect between the mind and body can be addressed through tools like 3D modeling apps and regular scans to track physical changes. Acceptance and self-compassion are key in navigating the struggle of adapting to a new body image.
