In this holiday special, we explore obesity as a chronic disease and how GLP-1 medications are changing treatment, access, and outcomes. Our expert guest, Dr Robyn Pashby, breaks down the differences between GLP-1 therapy and bariatric surgery, explains types of disordered eating and emotional eating, and discusses the mental and social adjustments that often come with significant weight loss.

We also address weight bias in medicine, body image after weight change, and how food-centered holidays can impact those who are actively losing weight or maintaining on a GLP-1. This episode offers practical coping strategies, compassionate insight, and evidence-based guidance for navigating food, emotions, and health during the holidays.

In this episode, we discuss the complexities of obesity, moving far beyond the simple "calories in, calories out" narrative. Our conversation unravels the latest science to distinguish between different types of obesities (e.g., metabolically healthy vs. unhealthy, visceral vs. subcutaneous fat distribution), challenging the perception of obesity as a single, uniform condition.

Experts in obesity medicine and educators, we examined the landscape of collegiate obesity and nutrition education of future leaders. We dive into how the landscape of obesity treatment is being introduced to new students and practitioners. Our experts contrast modern, holistic, and evidence-based approaches with past didactic methods, emphasizing metabolic health, patient empathy, and anti-bias training.

Our astute educators help Debunk GLP-1 Myths as well. A critical segment is dedicated to dismantling the misconception that weight loss on GLP-1 agonists (like Ozempic or Wegovy) is simply due to calorie restriction alone. Our experts explain the drug's mechanisms involving satiety signals, gastric emptying, and metabolic pathways, proving it is a complex hormonal and neurological intervention.

Don’t miss this important episode, and learn how the future of obesity treatment is being shaped.

In this special season five finale of The Plus SideZ Podcast, we dive deep into the powerful role of genetics in our weight and health journeys. Kim sits down with her mom and sister to share how all three of them have used GLP-1 medications, uncovering the truth that much of our weight is genetically predetermined. They discuss the personal impact of these treatments, the challenges of access, and the transformations they’ve experienced. Along the way, they reflect on what it’s been like to watch Kim grow into an advocate, a top 1% podcaster, and a social media presence—all while balancing the personal connections that matter most. It’s a fitting close to the season, revealing how much of our journey is written in our genes and how much we’ve learned about what we can and can’t control.
