Part 2

In this episode, we dive deep into the real story behind obesity and type 2 diabetes, pushing past the outdated ideas of willpower and self-control. We explore how insulin resistance plays a huge role in weight gain and regain and how GLP-1 medications can help tackle these issues. Dr. Lindsay Ogle joins us to break down the science of set weight theory, explaining how our bodies are hardwired to fight weight loss, and why many people with obesity struggle to lose weight with diet and exercise alone. She gives us a better understanding of why GLP-1 medications work differently—targeting the root causes of obesity like insulin resistance—and how they help us break free from the cycle.

We also take a hard look at the frustrating realities of getting access to GLP-1 treatments and discuss what other options are out there for managing hunger and preventing weight regain.

But it’s not just about the science—this episode also digs into the emotional and societal factors that impact obesity. We talk about the importance of seeing obesity for what it is: a complex health condition, not a lack of discipline. Plus, we explore why, in some cases, increasing food intake can actually help people break free from cycles of disordered eating.

We also get into the connection between PCOS, binge eating disorder, and Night Eating Disorder, sharing strategies on how to manage them. Ultimately, we’re all about taking a holistic approach to obesity—focusing on the whole person and finding the treatment that truly works.
