Healthy Illness

I Gained 40 lbs on Ozempic


Listen Later

Ep. 142 You can take the medication, follow the plan, and still feel betrayed by your own body when the “quick fix” doesn't fix what was really going on.

In this deeply personal conversation, Kelly Marie opens up about living with diabetes, recovering from back surgery, and gaining 36 pounds while on Ozempic. She breaks down the uncomfortable truth many people avoid: medication can curb physical hunger, but it doesn’t heal emotional eating, stress, or the mental patterns driving our choices.

This episode isn’t about shame or shock value. It’s about responsibility, awareness, and compassion—for yourself and your body.

Key takeaways:

✨ Emotional health directly impacts weight management
✨ Ozempic addresses hunger, not emotional coping
✨ Small daily decisions matter more than big resolutions
✨ “Every day is a new year” when it comes to your health
✨ Progress starts with honesty, not perfection

Remember chasing a shortcut often distracts us from the deeper work—and that sustainable wellness begins when you stop looking for fixes and start listening to yourself.
