I Have Taken A GLP-1. I Want To Talk About Skinny Celebrities.
In this video, Chelsea takes a thoughtful look at the recent conversation around extremely thin celebrity bodies and the growing discussion about GLP-1 medications. As someone who has personally used a GLP-1, she shares her perspective while trying to unpack the cultural pressures, the science, and the complicated realities behind the headlines.
This is meant to be a nuanced, respectful deep dive into a sensitive topic — exploring weight loss drugs, celebrity culture, and body image without shame or judgment.
As mentioned in the video, we are VERY grateful to our partners — the TFD team personally uses all of them, and when you use our links it helps support us tremendously!
