In this powerful and relatable episode of The Weight’s Over, Sandra sits down with Julia, whose story is far from the typical "quick fix" transformation. Julia shares her deeply personal and medically complex journey of navigating surgical menopause, PCOS, endometriosis, and insulin resistance, all while overcoming a lifelong sugar addiction. Her experience is a testament to patience, resilience, and the slow but steady power of mindset change.
Her weight loss wasn’t rapid, but it was real. And more importantly, it was sustainable. Julia’s story is a reminder that lasting transformation is built over time—and that progress isn't always visible on the scales.
