If You Give A Mouse A Cookie

In the immortal, yet possibly problematic, words of Kate Moss, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". Diet culture, what healthy means, and the perception & need to be skinny by any means necessary has been a trope and trend for decades. This week, Hannah and Roland discuss the mental health around diet culture alongside Metabolic Health & Fitness Coach Taylor Trost (@fitnfoodwithtaylor on Instagram). Particularly, they discuss the uprising trend of Semaglutides, commonly known as Ozempic, what it does to the body, the brain, and some controversial research going on in the field of physical & mental health. What's the good, the bad, and the ugly of it all? Well they're here to give you the skinny on it.
