In this episode of Between Two White Coats, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster sit down with social media influencer Kristen Fussell (@EveryDayIsDarling) to talk about her real-life weight loss journey with GLP-1 medications.

Kristen opens up about the emotional and physical challenges of postpartum weight gain, the pressure to “bounce back,” and the moment a candid beach photo became her turning point. She shares the hesitation, fear, and misconceptions she battled before starting semaglutide — and how she overcame the stigma of asking for help.

Listeners will hear about:

• The mental load of motherhood and how it impacts health goals

• Why food noise can be as big a barrier as hunger

• The role GLP-1 medications can play in sustainable weight loss

• How Kristin lost nearly 70 pounds without starving herself — and found freedom from obsessive food thoughts

• The importance of compassionate medical guidance and realistic expectations

This conversation isn’t just about the scale — it’s about reclaiming health, confidence, and joy. Whether you’re curious about GLP-1s, struggling with weight, or looking for a relatable voice in the wellness space, Kristin’s story will encourage you to take the next step for yourself.
