Episode 2: Frida - Finding Freedom on Mounjaro

Episode 2: Frida - Finding Freedom on Mounjaro

This week, I’m talking to Frida (from @fridatakescontrol on Instagram) — about life on Mounjaro and what it feels like when the food noise finally quiets down.

Frida has been on Mounjaro for 17 weeks and has lost 12.5 kilos (more than 27 pounds) in a steady, sustainable way. But more than that, she talks about the freedom of not thinking about food all the time — of being able to live normally again. She shares openly about paying out-of-pocket for her medication, how obesity is a chronic disease, and why she plans to stay on treatment long-term, despite the stigma and opinions that come with it.

We also talk about childhood food rules, secret eating, and the way those early experiences follow us into adulthood. Frida shares stories from her own family, while I reflect on how similar patterns showed up in mine. We both agree — healing your relationship with food takes time, honesty, and compassion.

We end up in a broader conversation about body image, fashion, motherhood, and how public scrutiny has shifted from judging women’s bodies to judging their choices. Still, the pressure remains.

A warm and open-hearted talk about Mounjaro, food freedom, and the long road to self-acceptance.
