    Found this episode really helpful, and just clarity in amongst all the noise. Everyone is pushing something, and the fear you are going to be “left behind” and that you are ridiculous for not doing the GLP1s, this helped me to hear someone else articulate what I’ve been trying to get to - I’ve listened twice!

  • I love this podcast!

    It’s always such a pleasure to listen to Bryony and I find all her guests and conversations so refreshingly honest, moving and often funny! As someone who is very sensitive with my own mental health struggles over the years, I only wish I’d been able to hear this podcast when I was younger. It’s so needed xx

  • Refreshing

    As a nutritionist and eating disorder specialist, I found this episode on protecting your mental health amidst the weight-loss narratives around GLP-1s incredibly refreshing. It’s so important to have conversations that challenge diet culture and highlight the harms it causes to body image, physical, emotional and mental health. Grateful to hear others spreading this message.
