In this episode of Make Your Mark, I focus on the often-ignored mental and emotional side of weight gain and obesity. I talk about why understanding the reasons behind long-term weight struggles matters for sustainable change, and why I have started working with a psychotherapist to address this.

I am also joined by Killian, who appeared on Operation Transformation over ten years ago and has successfully maintained his weight loss. We chat about what has worked for him, his love of running, and staying active long term.

I then share my thoughts on an Irish Times article on weight loss medication that I partly disagree with, followed by a discussion on hair loss and rapid weight loss, referencing a video by Dr Amir Khan.

This episode is about balance, mindset, and approaching weight loss in a way that supports both mental and physical health.
