"Weight Loss Revolution: The Truth About GLP-1 Medications" hosted by Kathy Romano Last week, we heard the powerful personal stories of patients who've experienced these medications firsthand – their triumphs, struggles, and everything in between.

Now we turn to the medical experts to understand the broader implications of these transformative medications. Three distinguished physicians each bring a unique perspective to the conversation: Dr. Anastassia Amaro, an Obesity Medicine doctor at Penn Medicine and director of Penn Metabolic Medicine; Dr. Rashna Staid, who brings over 25 years of experience in functional and integrative medicine; and Dr. Renee Anderson, a gynecologist specializing in how these medications interact with women's health during perimenopause and menopause.

From the physiological mechanisms behind weight loss to concerns about long-term effects, we'll explore the medical realities that go beyond personal experience. Whether you're considering these medications yourself or simply want to understand what's driving this weight loss revolution, you'll want to hear what our experts have to say.

Kathy Romano dives into one of the most talked-about medical developments in recent years. Kathy's special broadcast "Weight Loss Revolution: The Truth About GLP-1 Medications" is divided into two illuminating parts. In part one, you'll hear directly from patients who've experienced these medications firsthand – the transformative successes, the challenging side effects, and the complex realities that exist between these extremes.

In part two, Kathy speaks with medical experts, featuring three distinct perspectives from doctors with different approaches to weight management – from obesity medicine to functional medicine. They'll help us understand not just how these medications work, but how they fit into the broader conversation about health and wellness.

Whether you're considering these medications yourself, know someone who is, or simply want to understand what's behind the headlines, listen to this honest exploration of the medications that are changing how we think about weight loss.

Today we're joined by a woman whose journey from elementary school teacher to fitness entrepreneur and 16-time Ironman finisher demonstrates the power of reinvention.
Lacey Schmidt is the owner of YogaSix studios in Collegeville, Exton, and Conshohocken, but her path to success wasn't always clear.
After realizing her teaching career wasn't fulfilling her purpose, Lacey hit the "interrupt" button on life, diving headfirst into fitness and community building.

She's developed the "W.I.I.N" method—staying focused on "What Is Important Now"—which has guided both her personal journey and her approach to helping others transform their lives through yoga.

Lacey’s journey reminds us that it's never too late to reinvent ourselves and pursue what truly matters.

Her YogaSix studios continue to build communities where people can transform both body and mind.
