Injecting GLP1 to Lose 5kg for Bikini Season: A New Disturbing Skinny Movement

Loading player...
Ash and Marisa dive into the topic that’s triggering them most right now: the rise of GLP-1 use among women who are taking it just to drop a few kilos.

Disclaimer: This conversation excludes women who are prescribed GLP-1s for genuine medical reasons.

We’re watching a dangerous trend unfold! The quiet return of “skinny culture,” and women comparing themselves to bodies shaped by medication, not healthy habits.

Behind the quick fixes come real risks, and we discuss:
👉 muscle loss
👉 weaker bones
👉 long-term fragility
👉 cognitive impact
👉 a new wave of body anxiety

We’ve spent years helping women build strength, confidence, and real self-acceptance... and this movement threatens to undo so much of that progress.

This isn’t judgement. It’s awareness, and we would love to hear your take?
