Episode 24: Samantha – Nearly 100 Pounds, But That’s Not the Story

Season 1 · Episode 24

Thursday, April 16, 2026 • Duration 53:00

In this episode, the last of season one, I’m talking to Samantha about her lifelong struggle with weight, binge eating disorder, and the constant mental load of food noise.

Samantha shares how GLP-1 medication changed her life — not just through weight loss of nearly 100 pounds, but by giving her relief from obsessive food thoughts and improving her mental health. We talk about living with conditions like lipedema and lymphedema, the challenges of maintaining weight loss, and why full appetite suppression isn’t the goal.

This is an honest conversation about sustainability, brain health, and why GLP-1s should be seen as real medical treatment — not a shortcut.

Episode 23: Dr. Michelle Gordon - Obesity Is Not a Choice

Season 1 · Episode 23

Friday, April 10, 2026 • Duration 52:30

Dr. Michelle Gordon is a board-certified obesity medicine physician — and she’s treated over 15,000 patients.

In this episode, we talk about what obesity actually is. And what it isn’t.

Not a lack of discipline.

Not a simple equation of calories in and out.

Not a moral failure.

We talk about why weight regain is expected, not exceptional.

Why GLP-1 is often a long-term treatment — not a quick fix.

And why midlife women are often told to “try harder” when their biology is working against them.

Dr. Gordon also shares her own experience with GLP-1 — and what changed when the constant fight with food finally quieted.

This is a conversation about shifting the narrative from blame to biology.

Season 1 · Episode 22

Thursday, April 2, 2026 • Duration 22:20

Two years on GLP-1.

Over 140 pounds lost.

In this short follow-up (due to technical difficulties - sorry for the troubling sound at times), Shelbi shares what changed — not just on the scale, but in her life.

This conversation is not about doing it "perfectly", nor is it our last one.

Stay tuned for more from Shelbi in the near future!

Episode 21: Ana Reisdorf - GLP-1, Weight Regain & Why She Stayed On

Season 1 · Episode 21

Thursday, March 26, 2026 • Duration 46:13

Ana Reisdorf is a dietitian, GLP-1 user — and host of The GLP-1 Hub Podcast.

In this episode, she shares her own journey with Ozempic, Mounjaro, and compounded tirzepatide — including losing weight, stopping, regaining, and starting again.

We talk about what maintenance actually looks like.

Why coming off medication isn’t always realistic.

And how GLP-1 can shift your relationship with food — without restriction.

This is an honest conversation about long-term use, cost, stigma, and what it really takes to sustain results.

Episode 20: Chelsea - Not the “Typical” GLP-1 Patient

Season 1 · Episode 20

Thursday, March 19, 2026 • Duration 45:22

Chelsea is a dietitian. She understands nutrition. She knows what to do.

And still — it felt like she was constantly fighting her own body.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to not fit the stereotype of a GLP-1 user. Chelsea was never in the obese category. But the struggle was still there — the constant effort, the “white-knuckling” and the feeling that no matter how disciplined you are, your body doesn’t fully respond.

She shares how she came into GLP-1 through her husband, and what changed when that constant internal fight finally quieted.

This episode is about nuance.

About who “deserves” help.

And what it feels like when things finally get a little easier.

Episode 19: Jennie - Obesity Is Not a Moral Failure

Season 1 · Episode 19

Thursday, March 12, 2026 • Duration 53:17

Jennie’s story begins long before GLP-1.

She grew up in the shadow of divorce, bullying, and childhood abuse. Food became comfort. Protection. Control. By her teenage years, she was living with binge eating disorder and bulimia, while navigating the toxic diet culture of the 80s and 90s.

For decades, she carried not just weight — but shame.

In this conversation, Jennie speaks openly about trauma, depression, food addiction, and what it’s like to live in a body that society constantly judges. She talks about the professional and social consequences of weight stigma, and the quiet humiliation of eating in public when you already feel watched.

GLP-1 helped her lose 30 pounds.

But more importantly, it quieted the obsession.

She’s clear about one thing: medication is not magic. It requires mental work, emotional honesty, and ongoing healing.

This episode is about understanding obesity as a disease. About separating coping from character. About realizing that survival strategies aren’t moral failures.

And about what happens when shame finally loosens its grip.

Episode 18: Mollee - GLP-1 as a Catalyst for Healing

Season 1 · Episode 18

Thursday, March 5, 2026 • Duration 55:51

Mollee had only been on GLP-1 for six weeks when we recorded this episode.

But this conversation isn’t about rapid weight loss. It’s about inflammation, chronic pain, ADHD, postpartum survival — and what happens when your body finally starts cooperating.

Mollee shares her history with psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, lipedema, and years of trying to “discipline” herself into better health. She talks about growing up in diet culture, cycling between restriction and overeating, and later realizing how ADHD shaped her relationship with food.

She didn’t start GLP-1 to be smaller.

She started it to feel better.

Within weeks, she experienced reduced inflammation, clearer thinking, less anxiety, more energy — and the ability to be more present with her children.

She calls the medication a catalyst. Not a cure. Not magic.

But a turning point.

This episode is for anyone whose body story is layered. For anyone using GLP-1 for health, not headlines. And for anyone who just wants their life back.

Episode 17: Lora - Shame Does Not Motivate

Season 1 · Episode 17

Thursday, February 26, 2026 • Duration 54:05

In this episode, I’m joined by therapist Laura Grabow, who has worked in obesity medicine for over two decades, focusing on what she calls “head work” — the emotional and psychological side of treating obesity.

We talk about what GLP-1 medications can do — and what they can’t.

Medication can reduce hunger and quiet cravings. But it doesn’t automatically heal emotional eating, trauma, or shame.

Lora explains why shame doesn’t create lasting change, how emotional eating is often a coping strategy, and why learning to pause, name feelings, and practice self-compassion is essential for long-term success.

Obesity treatment isn’t just medical. It’s mental, too.

Lora is also hosting a 4-week virtual class on this deeper mindset work start March 3rd so head on over to loragrabow.com

Episode 16: Cath – Fighting Food Addiction for Decades

Season 1 · Episode 16

Thursday, February 19, 2026 • Duration 56:05

In this episode, I’m joined by Cath, who shares a story that spans decades of dieting, bariatric surgery, food addiction treatment, trauma, grief, and finally — relief.

Cath talks about growing up with food scarcity, learning early that willpower defined her worth, and building an identity around restriction and calorie counting. She reached 350 pounds and spent years trying to out-discipline a disease that was never about discipline.

We talk about her first marriage, the emotional fallout that followed, binge eating disorder treatment, a PTSD diagnosis, endometrial cancer, and traveling to Mexico for gastric sleeve surgery after facing long wait times in Canada. She lost weight — and then struggled again. Grazing returned. The obsession never fully left.

After losing her brother to complications related to obesity, Cath made a promise to herself: she would keep fighting this disease.

GLP-1 medication changed everything.

We talk about what it feels like when the noise finally quiets, the difference between surgery and metabolic treatment, and why obesity must be treated as a chronic medical condition — not a moral failure.

This conversation is honest, raw, and hopeful. And if you’ve ever wondered why willpower wasn’t enough, Cath’s story might feel very familiar.

Episode 15: Whitney - Thin Privilege, Intuitive Eating & the GLP-1 Clap-Back

Season 1 · Episode 15

Thursday, February 12, 2026 • Duration 57:38

In this episode, I’m joined by Whitney, a registered dietitian who is also a GLP-1 patient herself. Whitney lives with type 1 diabetes, PCOS, Hashimoto’s, and a long history of weight struggle — and she brings a perspective that sits on both sides of the table: clinician and patient.

We talk honestly about intuitive eating, food noise, and why “just eat intuitively” often isn’t enough for people living with obesity and complex medical conditions. Whitney shares how GLP-1 medication didn’t replace intuitive eating for her — it finally made it possible. We also get into thin privilege within the intuitive eating space, the judgment many patients (and professionals) face for using weight loss medication, and the emotional weight of being taken more seriously only after losing weight.

We discuss stigma around GLP-1s, misinformation online, access and affordability, and why obesity treatment should be viewed the same way we view long-term care for diabetes or mental health — not as a shortcut, but as support.

This is a grounded, nuanced conversation about weight, bias, relief, and what it means to stop having to prove your struggle in order to deserve help.
