Thank you so much for your support! This is Part 2 of my conversation with Leslie Schilling, and we get into the harder, thornier stuff—the cultural forces that make all of this so difficult to navigate, and the clinical tools Leslie uses to help people find their way through. We cover: — What weight suppression actually means, and why it has nothing to do with body size — The physical toll of even "light" under-eating, and why it can feel like it's working until it suddenly isn't — GLP-1 medications, informed consent, and what most prescribers aren't telling their patients — The way exercise intersects with GLP-1s and why being told to work out more while your hunger cues are suppressed is a problem — Muscle loss, sarcopenia, and why fueling your body matters more as you age — RED-S and why it's not just for elite athletes — "Weaponized compassion" and the way diet culture and the medical system dress up restriction as care — How belonging and community drive so many of our behaviors around food, movement, and medication — Body grief and the real, valid loss that comes with a changing body — Why lowering the bar is not giving up This episode is available in full for paid subscribers.
