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.
