Are we teaching our kids that health comes in a shot?
Dr. Wendy Schofer, MD — a pediatrician specializing in eating-disorder prevention and healthy relationships with food, body, and family — shines a light on the alarming rise of cosmetic GLP-1 use and why our “quick-fix culture” is setting the stage for emotional and medical fallout.

In this candid video, she reacts to a message from a fellow physician mom who easily obtained GLP-1 medication online, without a live consult, exam, or true medical indication. What happens when powerful prescription drugs become just another transaction? And what are our children learning from the adults around them?
