GLP-1 Burnout Support Group

​If you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, or burned out by GLP-1 medications and the pressure of diet culture, you’re not alone.

​● This is an anti-diet, fat-affirming group

​● This is not a medical space for determining whether to take GLP-1s. It's a space for people who feel burnt out or harmed by the ubiquity of GLP-1 promotion and weight-loss pressure and are seeking support.

​● We will meet virtually 3 times - May 30, June 6 & June 13, 2026 - for 2 hours, from 10am PT - 12pm PT/1pm ET - 3pm ET

​● Registration is non-refundable so events like this can be sustainable.

​● $69 is total cost for all 3 sessions.

​This support space is for people who are questioning what they’ve been told about weight, health, and their bodies, and who want a place to process those experiences without shame.

​Facilitated by weight stigma expert and author, Virgie Tovar, this group offers education, reflection, and community, not medical or mental health treatment.

​Meetings will include activities like journaling, personal shares, and tool development.

​FAQs

​*What if GLP-1s have helped me? I need support, too.

​Everyone deserves support. This group, however, is not a space where the merits of weight-loss will be debated. It's a space where GLP-1s will be treated as an extension of diet culture & a space where the demonstrated history of harm & failure caused by intentional weight-loss will be prioritized.

​*I am thinking about taking GLP-1s. Is this group for me?

​This group is most suitable for people who are already anti-diet, those who are very interested in becoming anti-diet & those who don't want to take GLP-1s, but still feel overwhelmed or burnt out by the uptick in weight stigma/food anxiety caused by the ubiquity of GLP-1 promotion.

​*Can I get a refund?

​In order to create a sustainable offering, refunds will not be given.
