Hot Take On Oprah’s Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution

Ep. 74

The conversation around GLP-1 medications for weight loss continues as we unpack the recent Oprah Special on ABC - "Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution." Some great points were made in the special, but one thing was glossed over very quickly - the food supply's role is disrupting our natural GLP-1 production. Beth gets fired up this week talking about the gross negligence on the part of food companies and the regulation of what our food is doing to us. Listen in and let us know your thoughts!

    When someone sees the number on the scale go down, they get happy - "YAY I've lost weight!" But hold up, when the scale moves it does not always mean you are losing fat. If you are going about dieting, in most of the methods out there, you are likely losing more than fat, and that's not a good thing. Be sure to listen to the know the difference between losing fat and losing weight. Knowing the difference determines long-term health and more.You can find us at:Instagram.com/path_nutritionYouTubePathNutrition.com

    The body positivity (BoPo) movement has been working to break down barriers to accepting all body sizes. It's so great showcasing that we can't all be the same size and we are here for all the bodies.
