We have a special guest in our community today, Mandy, who has faced the challenge of weight gain throughout her life despite being active. At the young age of 19, Mandy was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and later with PCOS. While she managed to lose weight several times, it would always come back over time. Mandy comes from a rural area with limited medical care and endured years of intense stress that made it difficult for her to lose weight and keep it off. At one point, her weight reached 400 lbs. Following the loss of her brother due to complications from bariatric surgery, Mandy was determined to take control of her health and considered traveling to Mexico for bariatric surgery. However, she discovered Mounjaro on TikTok and has since lost an impressive 134 lbs. Today, Mandy bravely shares her story, hoping to inspire others who may feel alone and helpless. Our medical expert for today is Dr. Shelly, an internal medicine doctor, and board-certified obesity specialist who also struggled with obesity in the past. She leverages GLP-1 medication personally but also prescribes them to help her patients to treat their obesity.

Kathrin shares her community story and journey with obesity and Mounjaro. Kathrin identifies as a Queer, Black Latina and she speaks about how she often felt othered being the largest person in her family. She bravely shared her experience with an insatiable hunger and how she tried every diet there was, as well as regular exercise and physical activity but the weight always came back on. Kathrin has found a new life since taking Mounjaro and is unwilling to go back to the way life was before. She’s begun advocating with her employer to try to get anti-obesity medications like Mounjaro covered and she tells us how. Our specialist guest tonight is Brittany. She began her career working in the appeals department of a health insurance company but soon entered the world of human resources. Brittany is a Benefits Director and shares her knowledge about the ins and outs of health insurance plans. We also discuss if it’s possible to leverage the Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives to get anti-obesity medications on more formularies.  If we know the rules, we can play the game to advocate for our health!

Pitch to Media (copy and paste to the media)
A community podcast called The Plus SideZ serves the GLP-1(Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy) obese community. As a guest on my podcast, Rosie O’Donnell, a type 2 diabetic, was the first diabetic celebrity to say these groundbreaking weight loss meds need to be available to all affordably. She is publicly offering to rep Mounjaro for Eli Lily FREE if they only extend the $25 coupon that is ENDING June 30th, 2023. The coupon made this LIFE-CHANGING medication accessible to countless individuals over the last year whose lives have been transformed by its effectiveness. Here’s the link.

With great courage, Michelle shares her lifelong struggle with weight issues, PCOS, and the heartbreak of miscarriages. After a year of taking Mounjaro, Michelle is very close to achieving her desired weight! She also explains why she decided to undergo a mommy makeover to remove excess skin now, rather than wait.

During today's discussion, we will explore the various levels at which endocrine therapy can be effective in treating insulin resistance. Our community guest speaker is Dave Knapp, also known as Man on the Mounjaro, a popular YouTube personality. Dave has battled obesity since his late teens and was eventually diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He will share his personal journey of managing obesity and his family's history of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Dave uses Mounjaro to manage his obesity and lower his A1C levels. We are also honored to have Dr. Melissa Young, an endocrinology specialist and TikTok sensation, join us. She will explain the role of hormones in obesity and type 2 diabetes, and discuss the spectrum of insulin resistance. Additionally, she will cover how GLP-1s like Ozempic or Mounjaro can provide endocrine therapy for both obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Today, we have our community guest Rebecca who discusses her lifelong battle with weight and PCOS despite many efforts to diet and exercise. Rebecca has an athletic build and was a ballerina, but she still fell within the obese BMI category beginning in high school. Why? Her doctors always just told her to eat less and move more, yet it was never sustainable. Rebecca also discussed how society’s standards affected her mental health because she always felt “too fat or too thin”. Rebecca also tells us about her Mounjaro journey and how it has changed, and possibly saved, her life. Dr. Rentea from episode 3, rejoins us today! She is a board-certified obesity specialist and will explain why the “eat less move more” mentality is a myth, as well as validate why Rebecca’s experience is so common in those that struggle with obesity.

Our latest episode takes a slightly different format than usual. It's important to note that this episode is primarily opinion-based and should not be taken as fact. We hope you find it as entertaining as we did making it!

We're joined by Lisa, a guest from the community who works in the pharmaceutical industry. Lisa bravely shares her personal journey with lifelong weight struggles and diet culture and discusses how GLP1s have helped her manage various health conditions such as PCOS, hypothyroidism, and obesity.

Lisa then joins The Plus SideZ Crew to "speculate our faces off" on topics including:

• The state of the original and newest Mounjaro savings card, 
• The impending FDA approval for the obesity indication for Mounjaro, 
• Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) leveraging our community TikToks for intel as they crackdown on the off-label use of Mounjaro, Ozempic, and other GLP-1s,
• Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) conducting audits and withdrawing approved prior authorizations (PAs) for GLP-1 drugs,
• Emerging, wild TikTok trends in June claiming "GLP-1 dupes" driven by the original Mounjaro savings card ending, and
• The benefits and dangers of some compound pharmacies providing GLP-1s like Semaglutide during and after the listed FDA shortage.

Part 2
In the second segment of "Foodie or Food Noise", Dr. Catherine Toomer shares her personal journey with type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and obesity, and how GLP1s played a crucial role in saving her life. As a physician, Dr. Toomer sheds light on the scarcity of these medications and stresses the significance of having access to compound pharmacy options. She also highlights the fact that several states have prohibited the compounding of GLP1s such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, which are active ingredients found in popular medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro. Dr. Toomer provides insights on how to select a reliable compound pharmacy and identifies potential warning signs to watch out for.
