Weight-Loss Medication: A Very Real Conversation
Weight loss medications are everywhere, yet many women feel confused, judged or overwhelmed by the conversation around them.
In this short, honest discussion, Emma and Laura share what they’re actually seeing day to day in the gym: Where weight loss medication has supported women, where it’s helped create space for change, and where the risks and limitations are often glossed over.
We also explore a more uncomfortable truth: in a world obsessed with quick fixes and optimisation, sustainable progress still requires effort. Not extremes or punishment, but consistency, education and support, especially for women, who remain significantly under-studied in health and fitness research.
This isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about cutting through the noise and helping you think critically about what’s right for you.
This episode is for anyone asking:
“Is this right for me?”
“Why does this feel so normalised?”
“What’s actually missing from the conversation?”
