| Are You Lazy? #RealTalk - [Episode 6] | 08 Nov 2020 | 00:16:18 | |
Even in lockdown, a lot of folks still have busy lives, looking after kids, friends or family, working from home, trying to juggle 101 new things as part of a new normal etc do factors like this mean we can't be doing things to help progress our goals? Even in more normal times in life, if you were to be 100% honest with yourself - do you think you are making a genuine effort to get the results you want / deserve? Well - thats what we talk about in this episode, and heads up - no shame or guilt - we are where we are, what others think of as lazy, is often because they may not have the context behind our lives and whats going on. Only we ourselves can decide if we are making genuine efforts, or if infact - we might be lazy / theres a little more we could be doing.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mick Crotty, a GP and Obesity Medicine Specialist with a passion for transforming how we treat obesity. Dr. Crotty shares his personal journey into obesity medicine and opens up about the work he does at My Best Weight, Irelands leading dedicated weight management clinic that’s changing lives through compassionate, patient-focused care. We talk about why weight management is so much more complex than just “eat less, move more,” and why it’s vital to treat obesity as the chronic condition it truly is. From the powerful impact of language and media, to the importance of informed consent and making patients feel truly heard, this chat gets into the nitty-gritty of what real, respectful care looks like. Together, we explore the role of mental health, how our home environments can shape success, and why GPs need better tools and training to support people on this journey. We also touch on the power of community, and how we can all do better—whether we're patients, providers, or just people trying to understand. It’s a heartfelt, hopeful, and honest conversation about obesity care in Ireland—and what it means to put people first. Find Dr Crotty via:

In this week’s episode, Paddy returns from his very first holiday since starting Mounjaro and shares how it felt to travel while on a weight loss journey. We dive into how our taste buds—and even cravings—have evolved, and Belinda has a lightbulb moment about how she’s neck for neck with Paddy in a particular aspect of her journey too. We also chat about the red flags to watch out for online in the wellness and GLP-1 space, and Paddy shared more about that infamous velvet jacket. Plus, he revisits memories of his wedding wardrobe, reflecting on body image, style, and what maintenance might really look like. Also - Paddy has a new movement class available online for people to book into via www.ptpaddy.com ------------------------------------------------- If you enjoy this podcast please follow / subscribe, download, and leave us a review.
