GLP-1 Medications, Public Figures & the Food Noise No One Talks About
When Serena Williams—the most dominant tennis player and cultural trailblazer—reveals her use of a weight loss drug and becomes the face of a sleek new ad campaign, the internet doesn’t just react…it explodes.
But what’s really fueling the debate around celebrities, body image, and the next wave of GLP-1 weight loss meds like Zepbound?
On this episode of “Better Than Fine,” host Darlene Marshall delivers her hot take on Serena’s headline-grabbing weight loss journey, unpacking the science, the social firestorm, and the deeply personal questions these choices raise for public figures and their followers. Why do we care when someone like Serena goes public—but barely shrug when Charles Barkley does the same? Are influencers betraying the body positivity movement, or just owning their choices? And what’s really at stake for your mental and physical health if you’re considering these trending prescriptions?
From the celebrity endorsement backlash to the shady side of hidden weight loss, and from cultural shifts in body ideals to the overlooked risks—like muscle loss—Darlene breaks it all down with expert insight.
Whether you’re a wellness pro, a GLP-1 skeptic, or just curious about the real impact of these "miracle drugs," this conversation will change how you think about health, honesty, and the bodies we celebrate.
