The Problem with the Weight Loss Drugs That No One is Talking About
10/17/24 • 37 min
Everyone seems to be talking about the weight loss injectables- and everyone has super strong opinions. There are people who are on it and proud, people who are on them and feel like they are cheating, people who are not on them-but are jealous of those who are, people who would never, and people like me- who just are terrified of needles.
No matter what your stance is, I think there is a bigger conversation to be had here- that is isn’t your fault if you feel like you need them. And it’s ok if you feel like you need them, but I promise you, you don’t. This question was a great opportunity to get on my little soap box and explain, I hope it gets everyone thinking a little differently, DM me on Instagram @MishOfNutrishMish and let me know your thoughts.
Dear Mish,
I am super curious your thoughts on the weight loss medications.
I have struggled with weight most of my life. I was never someone who had a lot of willpower when it comes to food. It’s not that I didn’t want to be healthy or lose weight. I want it so badly, but in the moment, passing up food is so difficult for me. When my Dr. recommended I try Ozempic last year, I jumped on it. When I took it, it literally made me cry. I finally had willpower, the voices in my head that usually screamed at me to eat were gone .
I have lost 60lbs and a part of me is so happy, but the other part of me is terrified. I know if I ever come off of this medication, the weight will just come back. My brain just doesn’t think about food in the same way that normal people do.
Is there something wrong with me? Are there people out there like me who should be on this medication forever? Super curious your thoughts.
*cracks knuckles* let's dive in!

Spicing it up in the Bedroom (not the pumpkin kind.)
Now that it is OFFICALLY fall, I am open to the subject of spice – but still not pumpkin spice. Spicing it up in the bedroom is definitely more my speed. This week we have a question from someone who wants to start exploring with her partner, but isn’t quite sure how to bring it up.
Dear Mish,
I have been with my partner for a while and we are super happy, but for me at least, it’s getting a little boring in the bedroom. I would love to spice it up and try new things with him but I feel so uncomfortable bringing it up. How can I talk to him about this without it being awkward?

This is Ask Mish, formally Healthy(ish) with Nutrish Mish. I explain everything in this episode but the Sparknote version is: In my 13+ years helping women lose weight, I have learned in most cases, the problem is rarely just about the food.
I have watched the people I work with not only lose weight, but gain confidence, transform relationships, get the job, and truly live the life they deserve to live. After the 5432nd time someone told me "you should have been a therapist" I decided to expand my impact, and give the ladies (and gents) of the world my two cents on the things we are all struggling with that prevent us from living our best lives.

Is it ok to Fake an Orgasm?
Okay, real talk: is it harmless to fake an orgasm from time to time? Have you ever done it? This week on Ask Mish, I’m joined by my boyfriend, and new resident male opinion (for this episode at least), Nick to break down why so many women fake it in bed, what it’s doing to your relationship, and most importantly—how to start keeping it real between the sheets.
We get into all the juicy details, like:
- Why women feel the need to fake it (you’re not alone, but girl, you deserve better)
- How faking it is lowkey sabotaging your relationship (and your confidence)
- What to do if you’ve been pretending
- How to start an honest convo with your partner about what you actually want in bed (and yes, you can totally do this without it being awkward)
It’s time to stop faking it and start getting the pleasure you deserve. Trust me, this conversation could change everything for you—emotionally, sexually, and in your relationship.
Dear Mish,
I was out to dinner recently and the topic of faking orgasms came up with my girl friends. The group was super divided on the topic, half of the girls in the group were saying they would never, and the others, including myself, said they do from time to time. To be honest, I didn't see anything wrong with it, until I saw the reaction of my friends. One of them said I was rewarding bad behavior lol Do you think it is bad to fake orgasms from time to time?
For this one, I wanted a second opinion, so welcome we welcome Nick on this episode of the podcast, our new resident male opinion.
