Amazon Banned My GLP-1 Book—But We’re Not Backing Down

Amazon is silencing the voices of people living with obesity, and we need to fight back. The first thing you can do is share this article.

This weekend, Amazon removed my book from their store, claiming it “disappoints customers.” But let’s be clear—this book isn’t just mine. It tells real stories from real people fighting obesity, stigma, and bias every single day.

🚨 This is not just about a book. This is about Amazon deciding whose stories deserve to be heard. 🚨

📢 Amazon is silencing us.📢 Amazon is erasing our voices.📢 Amazon is making it harder for people struggling with obesity to be understood.

This book is not some medical “how-to” guide. It’s a collection of personal stories—mine and ten others from my community—documenting our struggles and triumphs. It’s about equipping people with the words they need when family, friends, and doctors dismiss their experiences. It’s about breaking the cycle of stigma.

And yet, Amazon says that books like this are "disappointing."

📧 Sample Message to KDP

Subject: Urgent Review Request – ISBN: 979-8303353107

Dear Kindle Direct Publishing,

I am writing to formally request a manual review of the book Decoding GLP-1: A Guide for Friends and Family of Those On The Pen (ISBN: 979-8303353107), which has been wrongfully removed from Amazon.

This book provides real stories from people struggling with obesity and the stigma they face. It is not a generic guide but an essential resource helping families understand and support their loved ones. The book has nearly 500 sales and 50+ positive reviews, proving its value to readers.

By removing this book, Amazon is silencing the voices of people living with obesity and taking away a much-needed resource for those seeking support. I urge you to reconsider this decision and reinstate the book.

Thank you for your time,

[Your Name]

✍️ LEAVE A REVIEW

Astonishingly, It doesn't appear that it is too late to leave a review on Amazon! If you’ve read the book, please take one minute to submit a review here: Leave a review

Positive reviews show how much this book matters and I would think it would make it harder for Amazon to justify keeping it off their platform.

We Need to Act NOW

This isn’t just about my book. This is about whether people living with obesity get to tell their own stories or if Big Tech gets to silence us.

Amazon won’t reverse this decision unless we demand it. So let’s make them listen.

🔥 CALL. TAG. SHARE. REVIEW. EMAIL. 🔥

Let’s show Amazon that we are not going anywhere.
