🎙️ Overcoming Fear in Obesity Treatment—Balancing Risks & Taking the Next Step

Hey everyone, welcome back to High on Life! Today, we’re diving into something I hear all the time: fear of obesity treatment. Whether it’s medication or bariatric surgery, so many people hesitate because of concerns like:

🔹 “What if I fail?”
🔹 “What if I can’t handle the side effects?”
🔹 “Am I just taking the easy way out?”
🔹 “I’ve heard these meds cause cancer and haven’t been studied long enough.”

If this sounds familiar, you are NOT alone. In this episode, I break down these fears, separate fact from fiction, and help you make an informed decision—based on science, not fear.

đź’ˇ What We Cover:
✔ Fear of treatment vs. fear of inaction – What’s riskier: medication or untreated obesity?
✔ GLP-1 medications & cancer risk – What the evidence really says.
✔ Side effects & how to manage them – Nausea, digestion, eye health concerns.
✔ Bariatric surgery – Myths vs. reality (it’s safer than a gallbladder removal!)
✔ “Am I cheating?” – Why obesity is a chronic disease, not a personal failure.
✔ What if I fail? – The bigger question: What if this actually works?

At the end of the day, you deserve evidence-based care. This episode will help you weigh the risks, make a confident decision, and take the next step toward your health.
