Meet Emily, Evolve Wellness Group's newest therapist, whose journey to the therapy room began with her own experiences navigating depression, disordered eating, and the transformative power of finding the right support.

At the heart of her work is a shift from self-criticism to curiosity — helping clients understand the "why" behind their patterns and move toward genuine healing. With a clinical focus on eating disorders and body image, Emily brings both lived experience and deep compassion to her practice. Her philosophy? Life's too short to stress about the cookie — so eat it.

Meet Our New Clinician, Emily! When you first meet our newest clinician, you may notice a quiet warmth and an easy curiosity.

✨ Intuitive eating and making peace with food
✨ Navigating GLP-1 medications while prioritizing recovery

The intersection of obesity treatment and eating disorders demands our attention.

New NPR reporting highlights a critical gap in GLP-1 prescribing practices: The vast majority of patients are not being evaluated for eating disorders before starting medications like Wegovy or Zepbound.

The healthcare implications are significant:
→ Patients with "atypical anorexia" may be prescribed GLP-1s based on BMI alone, without proper mental health screening
→ The ease of online prescribing through telehealth platforms raises additional concerns about oversight
→ Men face particular barriers to eating disorder diagnosis due to stigma

This isn't about whether GLP-1 medications work—they do. It's about ensuring comprehensive, patient-centered care that addresses both metabolic health AND mental health.

As healthcare professionals, we must:
• Screen for eating disorder history before prescribing weight loss medications
• Monitor patients carefully throughout treatment
• Recognize that obesity and eating disorders can coexist
• Address weight stigma in clinical settings

The story of Jason Krynicki—who lives with both obesity and anorexia—illustrates why this matters. His journey reminds us that effective treatment requires understanding the whole person, not just a number on a scale.

Doctors, patients and researchers are at the very beginning of understanding how the new class of obesity drugs interact with eating disorders.

GLP-1 Medications and Eating Disorder Recovery: What You Need to Know

Ozempic, Wegovy, and similar GLP-1 medications have become increasingly common—but what does this mean for individuals in eating disorder recovery?

For those healing from restriction, binge eating, or other eating disorder patterns, these medications can intersect in complex ways with recovery work. Blunted hunger cues, reinforced weight-centric thinking, and disrupted body trust are just some of the potential concerns.

At the same time, some individuals may be prescribed GLP-1s for legitimate medical reasons like diabetes management. In these cases, recovery-aligned care means close coordination between providers, ongoing symptom monitoring, and space to process thoughts and fears without judgment.

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. What matters most is that treatment decisions support long-term physical and psychological well-being.

If you're navigating these questions, support is available. Read our latest blog post to learn more about our approach.

Over the past year, GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® have become increasingly visible in conversations about weight, health, and appetite regulation. For many individuals, these medications are prescribed for diabetes management or other medical conditions. Yet for other...
