44. Ethical Care Guidelines for GLP-1s: Body Autonomy, Informed Consent, and Anti-Fat Bias
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode of The Body Trust Podcast, Hilary, Sirius and Dana discuss the intentions behind their free ethical care guidelines for GLP-1 medications. They critique weight-centric healthcare, industry-influenced research, and an “ethics” focus limited to rationing and allocation rather than relational care, informed consent, and “do no harm.” Centering body autonomy, they stress that true consent requires unbiased information and freedom from coercion, including weight stigma and medical gaslighting. They highlight risks such as deaths, weight cycling, and inadequate eating-disorder screening, including concerns about people developing or worsening eating disorders on GLP-1s. They describe practical elements of weight-inclusive care, identify clinical red flags, and encourage patients and providers to use the guidelines to ask better questions while recognizing systemic anti-fat bias cannot be solved by individual weight loss.
