What if your biggest transformation couldn’t be measured by pounds lost… but by peace gained?
In this powerful episode, Dr. Kelli sits down with Adrian Gledhill, former Biggest Loser contestant, to explore the untold mental health side of weight loss. Beyond the workouts and weigh-ins, Adrian opens up about her experience with trauma, anxiety, and the internal pressure that followed her even after the cameras stopped rolling.
Together, we unpack:
How trauma and stress can distort body image and self-worth
The emotional cost of “performative” weight loss
The real reason anxiety often returns after external transformation
Adrian’s experience with micro-dosing GLP-1s for gentle metabolic and mental health support
The radical self-love practices that finally brought her peace
Why healing is never just physical—and why quantum mental health matters
Whether you’ve struggled with weight, anxiety, or the feeling that you’re “never enough,” this episode is a reminder: you are not broken—and you don’t have to hustle to heal.
✨ This is healing from the inside out.
