Why Aren't We Talking About This? episode artwork for GLP-1s, with Bertie Stringer

GLP-1s can switch off hunger. They can't switch off everything underneath it.

Nutritionist and hormone-health founder Bertie Stringer goes beyond the before-and-after photographs to explore the much messier reality of GLP-1s: nutrition, malnourishment, identity, our relationship with food and what happens when a powerful medical tool collides with a culture already obsessed with women's bodies.

Core themes explored

  • GLP-1s beyond the before-and-after photographs
  • Nutrition and the risk of malnourishment
  • Identity and our relationship with food
  • What happens when a medical tool meets a culture obsessed with women's bodies
