GLP-1 & Weight Regain: Why We Blame Ourselves

When weight regain happens, most people ask, "What am I doing wrong?" Weight regain can happen during GLP-1 treatment, after bariatric surgery, or years into an obesity journey. For many, the first response is self-blame.

Licensed therapist, obesity advocate, and person living with the disease of obesity, Nanette Adams, shares her personal journey while exploring why obesity is a chronic disease, how treatment often evolves over time, and the emotional toll of stalls, plateaus, and weight regain. We discuss therapy, shame, self-compassion, and why long-term support matters.

Nanette Adams, LPC, LMHC is a licensed therapist, obesity advocate, and person living with the disease of obesity. Through her platform, Weighted Wisdoms, she combines professional expertise with lived experience to help people better understand obesity, weight stigma, and the emotional side of long-term treatment.

A Note Before You Listen: Our guest uses the term fat rather than obesity because that's the language of her community. At The Plus SideZ, we believe listening to different perspectives helps us better understand one another. If this language doesn't feel right for you, it's okay to honor that boundary and skip this episode.

The GLP-1 and body positivity communities are often portrayed as being at odds. But do they share more common ground than we realize?

In this episode, we sit down with Tigress Osborn, Executive Director of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), to better understand the fat acceptance movement, the language it uses, and how it views obesity, GLP-1 medications, healthcare, body image, and weight stigma. 

Together, we explore where these communities differ, where they overlap, and whether listening to one another can lead to greater understanding.

Whether you agree or disagree, our goal isn't to debate or sway. It's to listen, learn, consider a different perspective, and better understand one another.

How GLP-1s Broke Diet Culture

For decades, we believed weight gain and weight loss were mostly about willpower, calories, and exercise. Today, we’re learning there’s much more happening beneath the surface. The biology that drives hunger, metabolism, weight gain, and long-term health is far more complex than we once understood.

In this episode, Dr. Chiadi Ndumele, preventive cardiologist at Johns Hopkins Medicine and a leader with the American Heart Association, explains why GLP-1 medications work, how weight, metabolism, and chronic disease are connected, and why the first-ever Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Clinical Practice Guideline represents a major shift in how we understand and treat weight-related disease. You’ll also hear a powerful patient story that shows why this new understanding is giving hope to millions.

In this episode:

• Why GLP-1 medications work when diets often don’t.
• What really drives weight gain, weight loss, and long-term weight management.
• How metabolism, hormones, genetics, and overall health work together.
• Why understanding your body can help you advocate for the quality care you deserve.

While Kim takes time away following the loss of her sister, we're revisiting some of our most impactful conversations from Season 1. Thank you for supporting The Plus SideZ Podcast and this community during this time.

Why do GLP-1 medications work when years of dieting and exercise often don't?

In this episode, obesity medicine physician Dr. Matea Rentea explains why obesity is more than willpower. Through expert insight and a powerful patient story, we explore the science behind obesity, metabolism, hormones, and why "eat less, move more" often isn't enough.

In this episode:
• Why diets fail for many people living with obesity
• How hormones and metabolism affect weight loss
• Why GLP-1 medications work differently
• The role of exercise, mental health, and weight stigma
• Real patient experiences alongside evidence-based medicine

Whether you're new to GLP-1s or have been with us since Season 1, this conversation remains one of our most requested episodes.

This episode was originally recorded in Season 1. Medical information reflects what was known at the time of recording. Always talk with your healthcare provider before making medical decisions.

Can GLP-1s Affect Food Noise, Alcohol, and Addiction?

** While Kim takes time away following the passing of her sister, we're revisiting some of our most impactful conversations. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and continued support of The Plus SideZ Podcast.

We're sharing this episode because it's more relevant today than when it first aired. Since then, research has expanded interest in whether GLP-1 medications may affect more than weight loss, including food noise, alcohol cravings, and other compulsive behaviors. While the science continues to evolve, so does the conversation.

Licensed therapist and addiction treatment leader Dr. Joy Bracey joins community member Brenda, who shares how Mounjaro changed her relationship with food, alcohol, and smoking. Together, they discuss the brain, behavior, and why this emerging area of research is drawing growing interest.

**In this episode:**

• Brenda's journey with obesity, binge eating, alcohol, smoking, and Mounjaro
• Food noise, binge eating, and emotional eating
• GLP-1 medications, dopamine, and the brain
• Alcohol cravings and addictive behaviors
• Mental health, self-love, and healing
• Why researchers are studying GLP-1 medications beyond weight loss

*Originally recorded during Season 1. This episode reflects the information available at the time of recording. Research and clinical guidance have continued to evolve. It is intended for education and discussion only and is not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider regarding your individual care.*

• The Mechanism of a Stall: A weight plateau occurs at the exact point where your declining daily energy expenditure meets your rising natural hunger signals.
• Menopause and Fat Oxidation: Midlife hormonal shifts cause fat oxidation to drop, which alters metabolic burn rates and shifts fat storage to the stomach.
• The Chronic Disease Reality: Clinical data shows that stopping a GLP-1 medication typically results in regaining about two thirds of the lost weight, proving obesity requires continuous management.
• Muscle Mass Preservation: Rapid weight loss from any method causes muscle loss, making strength training essential to preserve lean muscle and protect long-term functional health.

Ro - Telehealth for GLP1 Weight Management

The Absolute Lies You’ve Heard About GLP-1s (Ozempic Myths Debunked) [REPLAY]

Are you being lied to about Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy? In this special replay episode, leading obesity medicine specialists break down the biggest GLP-1 myths taking over your feed. We are reposting this crucial conversation because it is more relevant than ever. With GLP-1 price changes and expanding access options through federal programs like the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, understanding the real science behind these medications is essential for patient advocacy.

Obesity Doctor Guidance Shared:

• Metabolic Protection: A practical discussion on utilizing a 10-minute fitness routine and a 100-gram protein framework to maintain lean mass and support insulin sensitivity.
• System Navigation: Insights on navigating insurance barriers, managing prior authorizations, and advocating for proper medical care.

GLP-1 Over 60: Why This Feels Different Now Part 2
***Note: Kim had some sound issues, so we appreciate your patience and grace with her audio this episode.


What does it mean to start GLP-1 treatment later in life… after years of trying to make weight loss work?

In this episode, Kim and Kat talk with Dr. Lindsey Ogle, an obesity specialist, and Deb Cooperman, an obesity care advocate and content creator, about starting GLP-1 treatment in your 60s and why the experience can feel different this time around.

As more adults over 60 explore GLP-1 medications, Deb shares her story openly, from decades of diet culture and early messaging about weight to grief, food noise, and navigating obesity treatment later in life. And we also discuss the upcoming coverage of GLP-1s for obesity on Medicare (and maybe Medicaid) in July 2026. Dr. Ogle helps connect those experiences to the science, including expectations, side effects, protein, muscle preservation, and what support can look like as we age.

What we cover:

- GLP-1 weight loss over 60
- Food noise and obesity beyond willpower
- Diet culture and lifelong messaging around weight
- Grief, stress, and emotional eating
- Protein, muscle preservation, and aging on GLP-1s
- Side effects and realistic expectations

GLP-1 Stopped Working? What’s Really Happening with Dr. Spencer Nadolsky,

While Kim is on bereavement leave, we’re replaying one of our most important conversations. Thank you for continuing to listen and support the show during this time.

We’re bringing this episode back because our audience keeps growing, and many of you may be in a different stage of your journey now. Maybe you’ve hit a plateau, gone months without losing weight, or started wondering, “Is my GLP-1 even working anymore?”

In this replay, we’re joined by Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, obesity specialist and founder of Vineyard, to break down what’s really happening when progress slows or stops.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why your GLP-1 may feel like it “stopped working” and what’s actually happening
• The truth about plateaus, stalls, and going months without weight loss
• Why food noise can come back and what that means
• How dose, metabolic adaptation, and expectations play into progress
• What to know about weight regain and whether this is a “forever” medication
• How to think about goal weight and long-term strategy
• The role of exercise and metabolism as your body changes
• The emotional side, including feeling flat or disconnected

Listener Note:
**IMPORTANT** This episode includes discussions of trauma, family dynamics, narcissistic relationships, and eating disorders. Please take care while listening and choose a time and setting that feels right for you.

Over the past three years, a clear pattern has emerged. Many patients trace their struggles with weight back to childhood, shaped by family dynamics, support, and the ripple effects of diet culture.

GLP-1 medications are changing obesity treatment by addressing biology, and obesity is largely genetic. It is also multifactorial. Factors like stress, trauma, and early environments do not cause obesity on their own, but they can make it harder to manage. Yet this part of the conversation is often missing. While attention is placed on medication or diet and exercise, the impact of lived experience is rarely addressed.

In this episode, we cover:

•  How childhood and family dynamics shape long-term patterns 
•  The impact of stress, trauma, and narcissistic relationships on weight management 
•  Boundaries, including low contact and no contact, as part of healing 
•  Why lived experience matters in obesity conversations 

This episode is led by co-host and producer Kat Carter, who brings both expertise and personal perspective to a conversation that is often overlooked.

Guest

This episode features insights from Dr. Sherrie Campbell, a licensed psychologist with over two decades of experience specializing in trauma, family dynamics, and helping people set boundaries with toxic relationships.

New Sponsor for GLP-1 appeals is Honest Care!

Ro - Telehealth for GLP1 Weight Management

_________________________________________________________________________

With more people starting GLP-1s like Wegovy and hearing about newer options like Orforglipron, we’re bringing back one of our most important early episodes.

This is a repost of Season 1, Episode 5, titled "Fast and Lazy, Debunking Stereotypes," created to help you understand what these medications actually do and why obesity is not a lack of willpower.

In this episode with bariatric surgeon Daniel Rosen, we cover:

• How GLP-1 medications actually work in the body
• Is it just appetite suppression or something more?
• Are GLP-1s the same as bariatric surgery? Do they work the same way?
• Why diets fail and why this isn’t about “lazy” or lack of discipline
• What “food noise” is and why it matters
• Are GLP-1s approved for kids and should they be?
• Why obesity is a chronic disease, not a personal failure

If you’re new to GLP-1s or trying to make sense of all the noise, this is where to start.

This episode is dedicated to my magical sister, Jessy Cole, who passed away recently just why of her 39th birthday. She was an artist and writer, and she created even on the hard days. This was set to record soon after her passing, but my sister was very proud of me for doing this podcast to help others and challenge the status quo. 

It’s not at my best work, for obvious reasons m, but I felt I wanted to honor her strength by creating even on the hard days. Thank you for your support. I love you. 

In this roundtable, Kim Carlos and Kat Carter sit down with board-certified obesity medicine physician Dr. Matthea Rentea to discuss three movements shaping the conversation around obesity: the GLP-1 movement, body positivity, and the no-lose movement.

All three have lived with obesity and have tried diet, exercise, and different treatments. They share what has worked, what has not, and why GLP-1 medications are changing what sustainable care can look like.

This episode also defines each movement:
•Body Positivity: Focused on dignity, inclusion, and ending weight stigma
•No-Lose Movement: Questions weight loss as a goal and pushes back on diet culture
•GLP-1 Movement: Treats obesity as a chronic metabolic disease with medical support

The conversation explores where these movements overlap, including reducing stigma and improving understanding of obesity, and where differences remain around weight loss, medication, and how health is defined.

At the center is a bigger question: can these movements work together to better support people living with obesity and change the world? More conversations to come.

This isn’t medical advice — always talk to your doctor before making any health decisions

In this episode of The Plus SideZ, we break down the latest GLP-1 news and what it actually means in real life.

We’re joined by Dave (Man on Mounjaro), who shares his firsthand experience coming off a GLP-1 after years on treatment, while we also unpack emerging research and what’s coming next in this space.

This conversation covers both data and lived experience, including:

• What new studies say about stopping GLP-1 medications
 • Why benefits may reverse after discontinuation
 • Real-world weight regain, hunger, and metabolic changes
 • Mental health and brain-related effects tied to these medications
 • The difference between GLP-1 and GIP and why it matters
 • New and emerging medications being studied for neurological and metabolic conditions
 • Where treatment may be headed next beyond weight loss

This episode connects the dots between science, patient experience, and the future of obesity treatment so you can better understand what’s happening now and what may be coming next.

Whether you’re on a GLP-1, considering one, or thinking about long-term use, this is a must-listen conversation.

What happens when one half of a couple goes on a GLP-1, and the other half hops in for the ride?

In this episode, we’re chatting with another couple doing it together, treating their obesity with a GLP-1. You could call them a “GLP-1 household." Libby and Greg, both patients of Ro, talk to us about life going from "Food-Obsessed Couple" to "People Who Actually Have Leftovers."

We’re getting into the nitty-gritty of the "Dual-GLP-1" lifestyle, including:

"Coming Out" Story: How to tell your spouse you’re starting a GLP-1.

The Relationship "Side Effects": Dealing with the "comparison trap," supporting each other through the side effects, and how a boost in confidence changes relationship dynamics. 

Household Changes: From challenging the way they talk about "good vs. bad" food to showing up for their kids without the food noise.

This episode is a raw, funny, and medically-backed look at how a simple injection can create a massive ripple effect in a marriage

My (Kim) sister Jessy has passed away just shy of her 39th birthday. I tell you about her in this clip. It’s not scripted and far from perfect sound. Obviously, my family and I are grieving deeply right now. And many people have asked how they can help. 

I need to take a little break from the podcast, but we will play some greatest hits & Kat may do an episode or two by herself. During this time, I ask for your continued support to download episodes, leave reviews (desperately need more), comment, share, etc. so our podcast shows up in the algorithm & will be found by people who are lost, sick, and looking for answers & community like you once were. 

Thank you for helping my life have bigger meaning & for your support while I’m grieving with my family. I love you.

This isn’t medical advice — always talk to your doctor before making any health decisions.

Listener note: This episode includes candid discussion about sexual health and intimacy. Private listening is recommended if children are nearby.

For many women in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s, treating metabolic dysfunction with a GLP-1 is only part of the story. Labs may improve. Weight may shift. But sleep changes. Mood feels different. Body composition moves in unfamiliar ways. Libido quietly declines.

Perimenopause and menopause often unfold alongside metabolic treatment, and the hormonal transition can complicate everything.

In this episode, we connect midlife hormone changes with metabolic health. Dr. Cathleen “Dr. Cat” Brown, board-certified OB/GYN and Medical Director at Winona, joins us along with Kelly Miller, Winona Patient Ambassador, to discuss what’s happening during perimenopause and menopause, why hormone replacement therapy is back in the conversation, and what changed after the black box warning.

We also speak candidly about sexual health in midlife, an area that rarely gets the honesty it deserves.

For women navigating GLP-1 treatment or broader obesity care, this conversation widens the lens. Hormones matter. Context matters. And stigma around menopause deserves the same challenge as stigma around obesity.

As always, this episode is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

What happens after weight loss, when biology pushes back and maintenance becomes the hardest part?

In this episode of The Plus SideZ Podcast, we explore weight loss maintenance on GLP-1s through the lived experience of Ro patient and fitness instructor CeCe, who lost over 100 pounds through diet and exercise before turning to a GLP-1 to help sustain her progress. CeCe shares what it’s like navigating hunger, identity, and bias in the fitness industry while living in a changing body, and why weight maintenance often requires more than willpower alone.

Ro Chief Medical Officer Dr. Melynda Barnes joins the conversation to ground CeCe’s experience in science, explaining obesity as a chronic metabolic disease, how GLP-1 medications support long-term weight maintenance, and why movement and nutrition matter regardless of body size. Together, they unpack the impact of weight stigma in healthcare and fitness spaces, and what compassionate, evidence-based obesity care should actually look like.

This episode is for anyone questioning why keeping weight off is so difficult, feeling judged for their body while prioritizing health, or seeking a clearer, stigma-free understanding of GLP-1s and long-term care.

“What do I eat in a day?” is one of the most common and most searched questions people ask when starting a GLP-1. In this episode, we’re joined by Ana Reisdorf, MS, RD, registered dietitian and host of the GLP1 Hub Podcast, to explore how nutrition support fits into GLP-1 treatment in the real world. We talk through Ana’s lived experience with weight, the difference between dietitians and nutritionists, and why many patients are left without practical guidance once a prescription is written.

The conversation focuses on the growing gap between physician time constraints and patient needs, and how dietitians who understand and support GLP-1s are uniquely positioned to bridge it. We break down macros in accessible terms, discuss nutritional balance beyond protein, and examine how resting metabolic rate, sleep, appetite regulation, and tracking all influence daily intake, especially for those with a history of food or body trauma. This episode highlights why GLP-1-informed dietitians may play a central role in the future of sustainable, patient-centered obesity care.

Men with obesity face a significantly higher risk of early death than women with obesity, yet many still avoid doctors, delay care, and see weight struggles as weakness rather than a medical condition.
In this episode, community member AJ shares his journey through weight loss, regain, and sustainable progress, opening a deeper conversation about men’s health, obesity as a chronic disease, and the role GLP-1 medications can play in long-term care, not as a shortcut, but as support.
We explore why men disengage from healthcare, how fear and shame disguise themselves as toughness, and what real obesity treatment looks like over time. This episode is also for the women who love them, offering language, insight, and practical takeaways to help encourage the men in their lives to seek the care they deserve and believe they are worthy of.

**Friends, we are so sorry about the audio issues we've had lately. We are implementing new standards to improve audio quality for both ourselves and our guests. We appreciate the kind feedback and the absence of negative reviews. Positive reviews help us grow so we can help people who are lost, lonely, sick, and need education and community. Negative reviews have the opposite effect. Thank you for your patience as we work through these new standards, and thank you for showing us grace.

The scale has ruled health for decades, but modern obesity care shows it only tells part of the story. In this episode, we explore how GLP-1 therapies and advanced body composition analysis provide a clearer picture of health beyond weight alone. We discuss BMI, the Body Roundness Index, SECA body composition insights, why baselines matter, and how new global guidance is reshaping the future of obesity treatment.

This isn’t medical advice — always talk to your doctor before making any health decisions.

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.

           This isn’t medical advice — always talk to your doctor before making any health decisions.

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.

The Plus Sidez steps away from the focus on GLP therapies and obesity treatment and dives into the topic of fitness in a plus-sized body.

Sandra Mikulic is an athlete in every sense of the word—a passionate runner, marathoner, and the inspiring force behind Run Your Life magazine (runyourlife.ca). She takes us through her remarkable fitness journey, a story defined not by a scale, but by persistence, joy, and challenging societal norms.

She shares with us her love for movement at every size and discusses the brave moment she posted her weight on social media. By labeling herself as "The 250-Pound Runner," she has challenged society's normalized perception that "fit" connotes "thin." She is flipping this connection and truly lives the "Fit Has No Size" mantra.

Sandra also launched her own magazine, Run Your Life. It chronicles her journey of running in her forties and how this "later start" influenced her approach to training, motivation, and goal setting compared to younger athletes. Sandra offers a powerful message for individuals in larger bodies, particularly in her age group, who are hesitant to start or who struggle to find joy in fitness.

She also opens up about her experience with depression after achieving her magazine launch goal, discussing the complex emotional aftermath that can sometimes follow a major accomplishment.

Hear Sandra's incredible story on this episode, as her visibility as a marathoner is actively redefining traditional, often exclusive, perceptions of what a "runner" looks like.

We open with community member MiMi, who shares her experience participating in an Eli Lilly Retatrutide clinical trial, offering a rare, real-world look at this next-generation triple-agonist research. From there, we dive into how menopause and perimenopause reshape metabolism with insight from Dr. Komal Patil-Sisodia, an endocrinologist, obesity-medicine specialist, and midlife menopause expert. We explore how HRT and GLP-1 medications support symptoms, weight, and long-term health, what early research suggests about combining them, and why bone density, TMJ, and diabetes risk all matter in midlife care.

This isn’t medical advice — always talk to your doctor before making any health decisions.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Dan, a pharmacist and expert in Obesity Medicine, to unpack the science and future of the new generation of weight loss medications.

We unpack the basics, like what is insulin resistance? Dr. Dan explains how GLP-1 medications effectively treat this core metabolic dysfunction and why their multi-hormonal action provides superior, sustained results compared to older weight loss drugs. He also delves into the age-related changes in metabolism that make weight management challenging.

Dr Dan tackles some obesity and GLP1 myths with us as well. He debunks the popular and potentially harmful myth of "cycling GLP-1s" to prevent "receptor damage,". He emphaszies how obesity is a chronic disease that needs consistent treatment. Following this, we explore real-world strategies for weight loss maintenance, discussing the different treatment scenarios he sees in his practice.

Finally, we look ahead to the future: understanding the next wave of pipeline GLP-1s and current studies on higher doses. Dr. Dan discusses combined therapies as patients get further into their health and wellness journey.
