Weekly Live Recap: Self-Compassion in Change: Why Being Kind to Yourself Improves Results on GLP-1s
Updated May 11, 2026From Megan Ostler, RDN
Many people assume that being harder on themselves will lead to better outcomes. In reality, research shows the opposite. Megan breaks down how self-compassion differs from self-criticism, why it supports better consistency and motivation, and how it can actually improve results during weight and medication changes.
This session focuses on practical, grounded ways to respond to challenges without disengaging, while still staying committed to progress.
What you’ll learn:
- What self-compassion really is (and what it is not)
- How self-criticism can increase stress and stall progress
- Why compassion supports behavior change and habit formation
- How to practice self-compassion during medication or routine changes
- Simple tools to reset after difficult weeks without losing momentum
This video is part of Belle’s weekly GLP-1 nutrition and lifestyle live series, designed to support sustainable progress with realistic, evidence-based guidance.
