In this episode hosts Sirius, Hilary, and Dana delve into the landscape of diet culture in 2026, especially in the context of the Ozempic era. They discuss the pervasive nature of diet culture, the weaponization of health, and how societal norms and pressures impact perceptions of health and body image. The conversation highlights the shift toward using GLP-1 medications and CGM’s for non-diabetic purposes, the potential risks associated with their use, and the problematic marketing and accessibility of these drugs. They also touch on the rise of continuous glucose monitors for non-medical use and the broader implications of biohacking trends and surveillance capitalism. This episode calls for critical analysis and nuanced understanding of health and body trust in a rapidly evolving cultural landscape.
