GLP-1s at Work: Weight Bias, Benefits & Who Gets to Be Healthy
Jackye Clayton and Katee Van Horn unpack GLP-1 access, weight bias, appearance privilege, and the future of employee benefits.
GLP-1s are changing more than people’s bodies. They’re exposing some uncomfortable truths about work.
Jackye Clayton and Katee Van Horn get personal about their own experiences with GLP-1s, from paying out of pocket and navigating insurance coverage to realizing how differently the world can treat you after you lose weight.
But this isn’t a weight-loss episode.
It’s a conversation about who gets access to health, what weight bias looks like at work, appearance privilege, the coping mechanisms nobody talks about, and whether GLP-1 coverage could become the next benefits battleground for employers.
They also ask a question HR leaders may need to confront sooner than they think: What happens when losing weight starts affecting who gets hired, promoted, heard, or considered “put together”?
And yes, Jackye would like the record to reflect that she was sexy at every weight.
