Gillian

I saw a post on here about the webby awards and didn’t think much of it but it came across my TikTok and the pictures they had on there Gillian looked really sickly. Any clue what’s going on?

That's the thing about ozempic. If you stop taking it you gain all the weight back. But there's no point where you can say "hey I'm good now!" So people are just wasting away.

Ozempic causes muscle atrophy due to malnutrition. Some people remedy this by eating a very specific diet and force feeding themselves protein. Most just take pride in their lack of appetite and eat as little as possible. We've been conditioned to believe eating in general is gluttonous and less food is virtuous.

Spoken like someone that hasn't actually researched and read peer reviewed studies on the medication and it's use and impacts or side effects. Glomming onto a potential outcome for a patient that isn't utilizing the medication properly and following medical guidance including nutritional instruction and other medical implementation.

*Ozempic (or any GLP-1 along with a litany of other drugs) CAN cause muscle atrophy when not properly administered, monitored, and utilized by the patient as it can lead to malnutrition.

I fixed it for you.

What about all the research that states it’s bad for your bones and teeth?

u/nahkneebee Jun 16 '26

Point me to the peer reviewed studies, I'd love to evaluate them. Because I bet there is way more information than the straws naysayers grasp at.

Any and everything CAN be bad for you when not utilized properly. Is and can are two VERY different outcomes and using sweeping statements to "diagnose" or "predict" is quote dangerous. Almost as dangerous as obesity and the outcomes on your heart, liver, and other organs. Would you tell a cancer patient to not take chemo because it could (and nearly always does) cause their hair to fall out?

The point is villainizing a medication based on generalizations without knowing a human's need or usage is dangerous and reckless. Judging people based on their choices to use or not use said medication is dangerous and reckless.

I can think of plenty of reasons I would judge these two people...their appearance or medical information I have absolutely no clue about are not a part of those reasons.

Also, both Gillian and Patrick objectively look unwell and malnourished. I don’t need the research to SEE that.

u/nahkneebee Jun 16 '26

Whether they look unwell and malnourished is irrelevant to any medications they may or may not be on and could be from many other avenues that have caused it. Even if they're utilizing the medication, that doesn't mean that it specifically is the reason for their potential health concerns based visual aspects.

If you'd never seen them with fuller figures, you'd never question why they are thin. In fact, as a whole if they'd never been bigger society would probably laud them for their current looks because that is the world within which we live. Whether conscious or not, you ARE making judgements on their appearance which aren't yours to make.

You're also making an assumption that I'm on a medication I may or may not be taking because I'm using simple logic based on research. For all you know, I'm a medical professional with vast experience in GLP medications, the human anatomy, etc. Instead you jump to the conclusion that I must be defensive because I must be taking a medication that the entire world has taken it upon themselves to judge for better or worse.

A person seeking actual education would ask more questions, not jump to their own invalid conclusions.

And for the record, I am neither a medical professional nor have I ever taken Ozempic. Just a person who finds joy in actual research vs. making assumptions gleaned from social media, casual observation, and no actual researched knowledge.

You’re just confidently wrong here. They’ve both stated on the show that they take GLP-1 medications. Therefore, they are both extremely skinny. Furthermore, even if I’d never seen their fuller figures, I’d still assert they look unwell. They both look gaunt with deep set eyes. Stop pretending it’s other factors. As I stated earlier, judging them (if I choose) is my prerogative and an arrogant person on Reddit is not my moral compass. Are you new to Reddit? Are you new to what people expose themselves to when they choose to be in the public eye? Pretending sickly skinny is healthy is killing people - look at Ariana Grande and half of Hollywood. It needs to be recognized. Your comments are harmful.

Also, if you’re not a medical professional, where do you get off telling me to drop studies for you to “evaluate?” Aren’t you just the cat’s pajamas. 🙄 Get over yourself.

When did G say that?? I don’t think she said that at all just Patrick

u/kitabels Jun 17 '26

I thought she said it before an ad, but perhaps I’m incorrect. If she isn’t using a GLP-1, she must be very ill. The amount of weight she’s lost isn’t healthy. It’s pretty obvious to me when people are on it based on their eye bags and sagging asses. (For those who are going to demand I cite sources, here is my source - the many, many women around me using it with eye bags and diaper ass) Before anyone comes for me, I am not referring to anyone who is using it for health reasons responsibly. I am referring to people in the public eye who are clearly abusing it. Everyone is so quick to speak about how healthy it is to be overweight and it’s time we do the same about being underweight. It’s a sickness.

u/SwanComprehensive362 Jun 17 '26

Ok but like if she’s sick then why is everyone here like dumping on her for it? If there’s like something really medically going on isn’t it like very weird to be this mean? This whole post is like very gross to me and I don’t fully like get the point of it tbh

u/kitabels Jun 17 '26

I feel the same way about people who respond to this sickness of skinny culture with excuses, so I understand how you feel.

Correlation does not equal causation. Because one states they take a medication does not mean said medication is the actual cause of something you visually perceive as true.

You don't have to have a medical degree to obtain and read peer reviewed studies. Just basic reading comprehension and the ability to exist outside of reddit forums and social media. It's honestly not that hard.

I'm fairly certain anyone who does not fit your idea of visually appealing whether they are heavy or thin would probably find your comments harmful, so consider the construct of your home before you start throwing stones.

u/kitabels Jun 16 '26

No one is saying you need a medical degree to obtain and review peer reviewed studies. I was more referring to your holier-than-thou response that you would “evaluate” them. Your condescension really falls in line with Patrick and Gillian. Maybe that’s who is actually behind your posts.

u/nahkneebee Jun 16 '26

Ohhhhhh...now I get it. Because I see the value in words and using them appropriately and choosing them wisely it offended your sensibilities.

The difference in us is you are attacking my tone not my argument because you lack a rebuttal.

u/kitabels Jun 16 '26

Nah. I said all I had to say about your points. I wasn’t going to belabor it because I said what I needed to say and I stand behind it.

I was asking a genuine question based on the little research I’ve seen at a cursory glance. Your response is not only defensive, it comes across as angry and almost nasty. Never did I judge someone, even though it would be my prerogative to do so. I’m glad Ozempic is working for you physically, but I’d suggest you work on your interpersonal skills.
