Are you feeling curious—or maybe a little overwhelmed—by all the talk about GLP-1 agonists?
You're not alone. Right now, it seems like GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro) are everywhere. They're being discussed across media platforms, in medical circles, and increasingly in everyday conversations. The buzz is loud—and it’s easy to feel unsure about what’s true, what’s helpful, and what’s right for you.
At Eat Love Live, we’re watching this conversation unfold with both curiosity and deep care. As a clinic specialising in eating disorders and disordered eating, we hold serious concerns about how GLP-1 agonists are being suggested—especially for people with current or past eating disorders, or those at risk.
Body Autonomy Matters—And So Does Informed Choice
Let’s be clear: we wholeheartedly support your body autonomy. You deserve full access to accurate, compassionate, evidence-informed information so you can make the right decision for your body and your health.
And as a practice, our stance is firm: we don’t prescribe weight loss. Why? Because the evidence shows us that there are so many health-promoting behaviours—things like joyful movement, nourishing food, meaningful connection, sleep, and stress management—that can improve your quality of life, lower health risks, and enhance wellbeing without the shame and harm that so often comes with dieting.
