Episode 5
Missi and Cara get real in this episode, with both sharing personal stories about weight loss, taking control of their health, and the medical implications of being overweight or obese. They share guidelines for the medical management of weight, such as lifestyle changes, support/counseling, and use of surgical or medication techniquest to help people improve their health and achieve weight goals. There is no magic quick fix or one ideal power tool--we're thankful for a variety of tools to "fix" a variety of issues. That bolt doesn't need a hammer. #Obesity #WeightManagement #IResembleThat #Eating #GLP1 #GenX #Nutrition #MidwivesAsPCPs #Journey #MedicalWeightLoss
