Should everyone who can take GLP-1s… actually take them?

What do these medications really change and what do they leave untouched?

And how can busy families practice breathwork?

In this episode, Marianne sits down with weight management specialist Rose O’Donovan to bring nuance back into a conversation that’s quickly becoming black and white.

Rose has recently completed research on the use of GLP-1 medication as part of a multidisciplinary approach to weight management.

With a background in the military, a childhood shaped by the demands of the hotel industry, and years of hands-on experience in weight management, she understands discipline, stress, and adaptation from the inside out.

In this episode, Marianne and Rose also touch on the deeper links between addiction and weight management, the role of therapy in creating lasting change, and how the nervous system -particularly the vagus nerve- shapes everything from cravings to emotional regulation.

From humming and prayer, to a simple, gamified breathing practice that even busy families can integrate into their day, this episode is about doing the work in a way that feels possible.

You can’t medicate your way out of disconnection.

But you can build your way back.

One small, consistent practice at a time.
