If you’ve been on social media or scrolling the news lately, you’ve probably seen the fear-mongering around GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound).
💬 Headlines scream: “They cause blindness!”💬 TikToks claim: “They’ll destroy your pancreas!”💬 Influencers whisper: “You’ll end up worse than before…”
But here’s the real truth:GLP-1 medications are not the villains. Obesity is.
What Obesity Really Does to the Body
Let’s be brutally honest: it’s not the medicine that raises your risk of disease—it’s the obesity itself. Left unchecked, obesity is a root driver of:
✅ Cancer (breast, uterine, colon, and more)✅ Blindness (through uncontrolled diabetes and retinopathy)✅ Pancreatitis✅ Alzheimer’s and dementia✅ Inflammatory disorders (that leave women tired, foggy, and in pain)
So when critics spread fear about medications, they miss the bigger picture: the real danger comes from not treating obesity.
The GLP-1 Truth
Here’s what science actually shows about GLP-1 medications:
They help regulate blood sugar and protect the pancreas.
They reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular health.
They aid weight loss while helping preserve muscle mass.
They’re being studied for Alzheimer’s prevention and other neuroprotective benefits.
Do side effects exist? Of course. (Nausea, constipation, reflux in some.) But the data doesn’t support the fear-driven claims about blindness and widespread pancreatitis.
👉 The bottom line: These medications are tools—powerful tools—when used under the guidance of a licensed medical professional who actually knows women’s health.
