This isn’t medical advice — always talk to your doctor before making any health decisions.

In this compelling episode, we welcome back Ashley Johnston Palu, a remarkable finalist from Season 9 of The Biggest Loser, for a candid and eye-opening conversation. We delve into the raw and often heartbreaking realities behind the scenes of the hit show, as illuminated by the Netflix documentary, Fit For TV. Ashley shares her personal experiences and insights, offering a unique perspective on the complex dynamics between contestants, producers, trainers, and medical staff.

We unpack the friction that existed between the show's medical and fitness professionals, and confront the difficult topic of metabolic damage and weight regain that so many contestants faced. This episode explores how our understanding of obesity has evolved dramatically since the show's airing, moving beyond simplistic narratives of diet and exercise to embrace a more nuanced, evidence-based approach. We also discuss the critical need for greater advocacy and awareness surrounding modern obesity treatments, including the powerful potential of GLP-1 therapies. Join us for a powerful and honest conversation that goes far beyond the numbers on the scale.

Today is a Plus SideZ Rewind! Two years ago, we sat down with the one and only Rosie O’Donnell at the dawn of our movement for affordable access to GLP-1 medications & ending the stigma around treating obesity as a disease. Now, as we stand well into season five with thousands of new subscribers, so it’s time for a little time-travel! We’re bringing you a “Rewind” of that pivotal conversation to let our new listeners hear where it all began and let our longtime supporters see just how far we’ve come.

In this flashback, we revisit that summer of 2023 when the Mounjaro $25 Savings Card Coupon was ending and people were flocking to compound GLP-1 which still had a lot of question marks surrounding it. And the shortage of all GLP-1s was growing. There was no Zepbound or cash pay price or branded vials. It was $1400-1000 a month go get access to branded GLP-1s. With more voices in the conversation today, we’re measuring our progress from that. Oh how far we’ve come! We can now get branded GLP-1 for under $500. That’s a ton of movement in a short time. But let’s get it lower! 

Keep the faith. Let’s get loud AND change things!

Join us as we chat with Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, founder of Sequence (now part of Weight Watchers), about the real-world journey of living with GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Ozempic. We dive into the stages of this journey—why weight regain can happen, how to navigate plateaus, and how to rethink exercise and food tracking without the guilt. Dr. Spencer breaks down why obesity is truly a chronic condition and offers down-to-earth advice on managing each phase. It’s all about understanding the path, avoiding common pitfalls, and feeling empowered on your GLP-1 journey

Continuing our vital conversation from GLP-1s & Men’s Health: Jhon Henri’s Weight Loss Story P1, we welcome Dr. Catherine Toomer an expert on weight management, who offers her insights on weight, health, and metabolic well-being. Building on Jhon Henri's powerful story and how GLP1s changed his life, Dr. Toomer unpacks the complexities of obesity as a disease, the limitations of BMI, and why the focus should shift from simple weight loss to metabolic correction.

Discover why societal views on weight, particularly for men, contribute to healthcare disparities, and how GLP-1 medications work beyond "food noise" to address underlying metabolic issues. Dr. Toomer also sheds light on the often-misunderstood connection between rapid weight loss and gallstones, and candidly discusses the physiological changes women experience during perimenopause and menopause, including the role of estrogen decline in weight gain.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of chronic weight management, the importance of advocating for your health, and the journey toward holistic well-being.

In this candid and powerful episode of The Plus SideZ Podcast, we sit down with Jhon Henri, a GLP-1 advocate who shares his weight loss journey, the impact of food noise, and what it means to be a man navigating obesity, diabetes risk, and healthcare bias.

Jhon opens up about growing up in a bigger body, feeling dismissed by doctors, discovering GLP-1 medications, and finding purpose in helping other men—especially Black men—advocate for their health. From overcoming stigma to building a care team that listens, his story is one of vulnerability, grit, and community.

We also dive into why BMI is broken, the mental toll of lifelong weight loss pressure, and how GLP-1 medications are transforming lives beyond the scale. Plus, Kim and Kat talk about shifting the conversation toward hormone health, advocacy, and what comes after weight loss.

Whether you’re on a GLP-1, love someone who is, or just want to hear real talk about health and healing—this episode is for you.

Hi Plus SideZ Community! 

We have big news! We are sooooo close! 

Hi Plus SideZ Community, 

I've been invited by the Obesity Action Coalition to speak with lawmakers on Hill Day in D.C this Thursday, but we haven't raised enough money yet to cover travel expenses. We will attend the Your Weight Matters conference too, but we need to raise about $600 more. Here is our GoFundMe. I hope you will consider helping us get there! 

https://gofund.me/3d8ef8fc

Let's get loud! And change things!
