It feels like everyone around you is getting smaller.

And even if you logically know that shrinking ≠ health… it can still mess with your head.

In this episode, I’m talking about the emotional and psychological impact of living in a world where GLP-1 medications are becoming more common, and bodies are changing quickly around us. As a runner who is intentionally fueling your body for performance, recovery, and long-term health… this can feel disorienting, triggering, and honestly? A little threatening to your identity.

We’re diving into:

Why the “shrinking around you” effect can feel so activating

How diet culture beliefs can quietly resurface (even when you’ve done the work)

The identity shift of choosing a fueled body over a smaller one

Why your discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong or “being a bad person”

How to process these feelings without abandoning yourself

This is your reminder: you’re allowed to feel conflicted and stay committed to fueling your body well.
