GLP-1 Movement vs. Body Positive & Fat Liberation Movements

Always talk to a doctor who can review your personal records and labs to make the safest choices for you." 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.

Always talk to a doctor who can review your personal records and labs to make the safest choices for you." 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.

GLP-1 Stall? Why Your Body Stops Losing Weight | Dr. Michelle Gordon

Jun 15, 2026

Resources for the Community: ___________________________________________________________________ Linktree Our Favorite Things Need help appealing your GLP-1 denials? www.FindHonestCare.com/Kim Ro - Telehealth for GLP1 Weight Management GLP-1 Stall? Why Your Body Stops Losing Weight | Dr. Michelle Gordon Hosts Kim Carlos and Kat Carter talk with obesity medicine specialist Dr. Michelle Gordon about the biological factors behind a GLP-1 weight loss plateau. If you are on a medication like tirzepatide or semaglutide and the scale stops moving, it is driven by a complex neuroendocrine response. Dr. Gordon explains that the hypothalamus operates like a stubborn thermostat, defending a specific weight set point. When you lose weight, the brain reads the change as a threat and triggers physiological defenses. To prevent further weight loss, the body increases hunger hormones and simultaneously lowers its energy expenditure. Key topics include: 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.

GLP-1 & PCOS: Why So Many Women Were Misdiagnosed

May 23, 2026

Linktree for Community Resources Need help appealing GLP-1 insurance denials? findhonestcare.com/kim Ro - Telehealth for GLP1 Weight Management Ro.Co/PlusSideZ _________________________________________________________________________ What if millions of women with PCOS were misunderstood for years because the condition was treated mainly as a reproductive disorder instead of a metabolic disease tied to insulin resistance, obesity, hormones, and fertility? In this episode of The Plus SideZ Podcast, Dr. Melanie Cree, a pediatric endocrinologist, obesity researcher, and PCOS/PMOS expert, explains the recent global consensus to rename PCOS to PMOS, or Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, to better reflect the condition’s metabolic and hormonal impact. Dr. Cree breaks down how delayed diagnosis and outdated understanding may have prevented many patients from getting earlier metabolic treatment and intervention. We discuss: Why so many women with PCOS were misunderstood or dismissed The connection between PCOS, PMOS, insulin resistance, obesity, and fertility Why weight gain is not just about willpower Adolescent PCOS and why early intervention matters GLP-1 medications like semaglutide for PCOS/PMOS Emerging research focused on ovulation, fertility, and metabolic health How hormones, appetite, and metabolism are connected Why the PMOS name change could improve diagnosis and treatment Dr. Cree also shares information about her ongoing research and studies exploring how GLP-1 medications may help improve metabolic and reproductive health in people with PCOS/PMOS.

GLP-1: What We’re Not Talking About

Apr 28, 2026

Resources for the Community: Linktree Our Favorite Things Need help appealing your GLP-1 dials? www.FindHonestCare.com/Kim ______________________________________________________________________ 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.

GLP-1 vs Diet Culture: Body Positivity and No-Lose Debate

Apr 6, 2026

Resources for the Community: ___________________________________________________________________ https://linktr.ee/theplussidez Find Your US Representatives https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials _________________________________________________________ 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. _________________________________________________________ Join this channel to get access to perks: / @theplussidez ______________________________________________________________________ #Mounjaro #MounjaroJourney #Ozempic #Semaglutide #tirzepatide #GLP1 #Obesity #zepbound #wegovy #ObesityCare #PatientAdvocate #GLP1Community #RealGLP1Stories Send us Fan Mail!

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 ______________________________________________________________________ Join this channel to get access to perks: / @theplussidez ______________________________________________________________________ #Mounjaro #MounjaroJourney #Ozempic #Semaglutide #tirzepatide #GLP1 #Obesity #zepbound #wegovy #ObesityCare #PatientAdvocate #GLP1Community #RealGLP1Stories Send us Fan Mail!

Update: We’ve suffered a deep loss

Mar 20, 2026

Plus SideZ Family, 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. Send us Fan Mail! Use Honest Care to Appeal GLP-1 Denials.
