198 - The T on ‘Skinny Is Back’: Shrinking Bodies, GLP-1s & Where Strength Went with Jaclyn Phillps
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
In this episode of Spilling the T, we’re unpacking three of the most talked-about — and misunderstood — shifts happening in health and fitness right now. From the return of ultra-thin aesthetics in media and social platforms, to the rapid rise of GLP-1 medications and peptides, to the evolution of hybrid coaching with AI and human support — these trends aren’t separate. They’re connected. And they’re telling us something important about where the industry is headed. In this conversation, we discuss:Why “skinny is back” isn’t about leanness — but about shrinking, muscle loss, and strength being deprioritized in visual cultureThe difference between thinness, health, and capability — and why muscle still matters for longevityHow body positivity was a necessary movement, but how it became distorted when acceptance turned into stagnationWhy the current push toward extreme thinness feels like a cultural overcorrectionThe real impact of GLP-1s and peptides — and why fat loss without strength, nourishment, and structure is short-sightedHow rapid weight loss can outpace metabolic health, muscle retention, and long-term resilienceWhy weight loss ≠ health, and aesthetics ≠ sustainabilityThe rise of hybrid training (AI + human coaching) as a response to both extremesHow modern coaching is shifting from pushing harder to protecting strength, recovery, and longevityWhat true body respect actually looks like moving forward Our take:Body positivity didn’t fail.Discipline didn’t fail.Extremes failed. The future of health and fitness isn’t about disappearing — or refusing to evolve.It’s about building a body that’s strong, capable, supported, and able to carry you forward. This episode is for anyone who feels caught between conflicting messages — and wants a smarter, more sustainable path forward.
