Breaking Free: Mindy’s Journey with Wegovy, Family Challenges, and Finding Balance

In this episode, we’re diving into Mindy’s remarkable journey—a story that highlights the complexities of obesity and the power of perseverance.

Mindy’s struggles with weight began in childhood; her mom’s constant dieting taught her restriction, while time with her dad often led to overindulgence. As an adult, she found herself stuck in a cycle of extreme restriction followed by exhaustion and inevitable weight regain. But everything changed when she discovered Wegovy. 

Today, Mindy isn’t just proud of the weight she’s lost; she’s celebrating the fact that she’s unlearning the habits that held her back. Her progress might not be rapid, but her commitment to maintaining it is truly inspiring.

GLP-1s Work! So Why Is Everyone So Mad About It?

Struggling with shame or judgment around weight-loss medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Zepbound? You’re not alone. I’m exploring the stigma, internalized guilt, and societal pressure that lead many people to hide their GLP-1 medications. Learn why obesity treatment is misunderstood, why it’s not the “easy way out,” and how to reclaim your health without apology.

Zepbound vs. Wegovy: Breaking Down the SURMOUNT-5 Trial Results

I break down the SURMOUNT-5 trial comparing Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) for weight loss. I cover the real numbers, side effects, and what this means for obesity treatment. These results could shift how we think about first-line options for chronic weight management.

Compare average weight loss on Wegovy vs. Zepbound with clear, week-by-week data from clinical trials. Learn what’s typical at each stage, why results may slow down over time, and what progress really looks like on these medications. Grounded in science, not opinions.
