Overcoming Food Noise: Risa’s Journey from Military Service to Weight Management Success
I’m joined by the amazing Risa from the YouTube channel @Risabeesa—make sure to give her a follow!
Risa shares her deeply personal journey of growing up in the shadow of constant comparisons to her sister, being labeled the “less attractive one,” and facing the pressure to compensate with her personality.
Despite her challenges with weight management, Risa persevered and served in the United States military, where the rigorous demands still didn’t resolve her struggles. After retiring, she faced even more hurdles, including a traumatic hip replacement and life stressors that made weight management seem impossible.
But Risa’s story doesn’t end there. With the help of medication, she’s now making incredible strides toward a healthier life. We dive deep into the influence of genetics, the importance of education around diet and nutrition, and the stigma surrounding weight management medication. And yes, we even touch on the surprising role of Preparation H in her journey!
Risa’s story is a powerful reminder that weight issues are complex and deeply personal.

Welcome to “Obesity Stories with Dr. Dan,” where we meet and learn from incredible individuals who are overcoming obesity and achieving remarkable weight loss. In each episode, we dive deep into the personal journeys of everyday people, exploring their unique challenges, victories, and transformations.
My guests share their struggles with mental health, lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and the daily battle against a chronic disease often misunderstood. These stories are not just about losing weight; they’re about reclaiming health, embracing self-love, and inspiring others along the way.
Join us as we shed light on the realities of obesity, breaking down myths and highlighting that it’s more than just eating less and moving more—it’s about resilience, support, and holistic well-being.
Thanks for watching and always remember: small tweaks lead to massive peaks!
