Ozempic and the Weight Loss Craze – What You Need to Know First
Welcome to my Summer Throwback Playlist—a handpicked collection of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast. These are listener favorites, packed with insights, laughs, and empowered eating encouragement to keep you fueled all summer long. A quick heads up: since these are throwbacks, you might hear old references to programs or events that are no longer active—but the heart of each episode still hits. Let’s dive in and revisit the best of the best! In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most talked-about weight loss medications on the market: Ozempic—also known by names like Wegovy and Mounjaro. You’ve likely seen the buzz: celebrity endorsements, dramatic TikTok before-and-afters, and headlines calling it a “miracle drug.” I’ve had clients take it, ask about it, swear by it, and question it. I’ve also heard from colleagues with very strong opinions on both sides. So, what’s the truth? What is Ozempic really designed for? How does it work? Does it actually help with weight loss? And most importantly—is it safe? I’m sharing a brief overview of the science, my clinical observations, and why this conversation matters—especially in a world where body image, quick fixes, and long-term health often clash. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: If you're currently struggling with or recovering from an eating disorder, please listen with care or consider skipping this episode. Ozempic is contraindicated for anyone with a history of eating disorders. Want to go deeper? I reference two excellent episodes that continue this conversation: "Science Vs." and "Honestly". 💛 Ready to explore a more sustainable, grace-filled approach to food and body?

When You Don’t Like What You See in Photos & Showing Up Anyway
Summer is full of joyful moments—vacations, pool parties, sunshine—but sometimes, one photo can pull us out of the memory and into self-judgment. In this episode, Jess shares how to navigate body image triggers that pop up in pictures and social settings, and how to shift from insecurity to empowerment. With a personal story from Water World, a relatable lesson from her son’s soccer tryout, and science-backed insights on emotion regulation and perception, this episode reminds you that you are more than what a photo captures—and you're probably farther along than you think. 🔍 What You’ll Learn: Why body image tends to flare during summer—and what to do about it How to use post-photo emotions as feedback, not failure What Jess’s son’s soccer experience taught her about expectations vs. effort The power of naming your emotions (backed by neuroscience!) How hydration, food, and rest impact how we see ourselves Why you should zoom out and take a fuller look at your progress 🧠 Biofeedback Boss Tip: Sometimes frustration comes from not being fully honest with ourselves. Zoom out, get curious, and look at both what you have done and what’s still in progress. 🧪 Nerdy Nutrition Nugget: Naming emotions reduces emotional reactivity.Research shows that labeling feelings like shame or insecurity can calm the brain and help us move through the moment with more clarity and compassion. 🧭 Value Compass: Life is happening—don’t miss it trying to ‘fix’ your face or body.Beauty isn’t just what you see in the mirror. It’s the energy, the laughter, and the lived experience behind the image.
