In this episode, I talk with Maria about her powerful journey toward health, balance, and a new relationship with food — after years of trying every diet and approach there is.

Maria has lost around 25 kilos since starting Mounjaro eight months ago, but for her, this isn’t about appearance — it’s about health. She shares her story of living with obesity, going through gastric sleeve surgery, regaining the weight, and finally finding something that works long-term.

We also talk about how difficult it is to separate body positivity from health risks — and how guilt and restriction so easily turn into overeating. Maria explains how medication has changed her life: how it quieted the hunger, made food normal again, and gave her the mental space to live.

A thoughtful and honest conversation about why sustainable weight loss isn’t about willpower — it’s about biology, compassion, and finally listening to your body.
