Real Talk for Women Navigating GLP-1s
You've heard of Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro. Whether you're curious about GLP-1 medications, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or coming back to try again after a hard stop—this book meets you where you are.
No miracle-cure fantasies. Just truth, science, and strategies that hold up, shared at a kitchen table with people who get it. Ready to join the conversation? Pull up a chair.
In 2005, the cultural phenomenon Skinny Bitch used shame as a mandate and willpower as a weapon. Twenty years later, the results are in: Shame didn't work. Willpower wasn't enough. Fat Bitch performs a scientific autopsy on the Willpower Myth, proving that hunger isn't a moral flaw—it’s a biological signaling system being sabotaged by an ultra-processed food industry.
