GLP-1 medications have transformed medical weight loss—but not all weight loss is healthy. In this episode, Dr. Andrea Walker, FNP-C, DNP explores an often-overlooked consequence of rapid weight loss: body dysmorphia. From patients whose BMI drops into an underweight range due to GLP-1 overuse, to those who are losing weight appropriately but struggle to see their progress, this episode addresses both sides of the issue. Dr. Walker breaks down BMI categories, discusses the risks of continued medication use at low BMI, and examines how celebrity culture and social media are reshaping unhealthy body standards. A necessary conversation on ethical prescribing, mental health, and knowing when to stop.

Why do GLP-1 medications seem to work great the first time—but not as well when you stop and restart them?

Drawing from years of clinical experience, Dr. Walker explains the science behind metabolic adaptation, hormone regulation, receptor response, and why appetite, cravings, and weight regain often feel worse after stopping.

You’ll learn:

• Why GLP-1s are difficult to manage without a long-term plan

• Why weight regain happens so quickly after stopping

• Why GLP-1 medications may take longer to work—or feel less effective—when restarted
