They Said I Cheated-Because I Lost Weight? The Truth About Ozempic and Black Shame

Transcript

You finally found something that works. The weight is coming off. Your blood sugar is better. But
instead of support, you’re being judged-even by your own community.

In this episode of the AfroFit Podcast, Dr. Takem confronts the shame, guilt, and misinformation
surrounding GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro-especially in Black
communities where “struggle culture” runs deep.

We break down:
– What GLP-1s actually do (and what they don’t)
– Why Black people are being shamed for getting healthy
– The real reason fitness influencers, doctors, and even family are attacking these meds
– How to separate cultural guilt from medical facts
– Why shame is the heaviest weight of all

This episode is not about pills. It’s about truth, healing, and freedom.
