Episode 23: Dr. Michelle Gordon - Obesity Is Not a Choice


Listen Later

Dr. Michelle Gordon is a board-certified obesity medicine physician — and she’s treated over 15,000 patients.

In this episode, we talk about what obesity actually is. And what it isn’t.

Not a lack of discipline.

Not a simple equation of calories in and out.

Not a moral failure.


We talk about why weight regain is expected, not exceptional.

Why GLP-1 is often a long-term treatment — not a quick fix.

And why midlife women are often told to “try harder” when their biology is working against them.


Dr. Gordon also shares her own experience with GLP-1 — and what changed when the constant fight with food finally quieted.

This is a conversation about shifting the narrative from blame to biology.
