In this season four finale, Cathy and Laura delve into the complex and often controversial topic of weight loss, particularly in midlife.

They discuss the impact of reality TV shows like 'The Biggest Loser' on body image, the role of celebrity endorsements in promoting weight loss drugs, and the societal pressures that women face regarding their bodies. They discuss the Netflix documentary ‘Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser’ which you can watch here.

The discussion highlights the need for honest conversations about health and the challenges of navigating weight loss in a world that often equates beauty with worth.
