Your Guide To Body Acceptance In The Age Of Ozempic

With the rise of weight loss injections and the return of skinny culture, it feels like we’re moving backwards in the body positivity movement, right?

In this episode of But Are You Happy, clinical psychologist Dr. Anastasia Hronis unpacks what these weight loss injections actually are, how we can start to reframe the idea of the “ideal body,” and the signs that this shift might be taking a toll on your mental—and physical—health.

You'll also learn:

• What these weight loss injections actually are 
• The signs of disordered eating & the different types of eating disorders
• How to start building a healthier relationship with your body
• How to navigate the negative body conversations you see on social media
