In this episode, Kelly and Alicia dive into the sensitive but important topic of weight gain through a new lens—seeing it not as failure, but as redirection and protection. Together, they explore the many ways the body may use weight gain to signal that something needs to shift: from hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance to inflammation, gut health struggles, chronic stress, and even the need to simply slow down.
Kelly shares her own recent experience with rapid weight gain and how, through labs and deeper reflection, she’s beginning to see it as her body’s way of protecting her. Alicia expands the conversation by unpacking the physiological and lifestyle reasons weight gain can show up and why it’s often a wise response from the body rather than a betrayal.
This episode will encourage you to move away from shame and instead approach your body with curiosity and compassion—asking not “how do I fix this?” but “what is my body trying to tell me?”
