In this episode, Gianna interviews Mike Donnelly-Boylen, a type 2 diabetic who has experienced significant weight loss and health improvements through GLP-1 medications. Mike shares his personal journey, the importance of community support on platforms like TikTok, and the need for advocacy in making these medications accessible to all. They discuss the misconception of obesity as a personal failure, the importance of an interdisciplinary care team, and the need for a shift in healthcare policies to support those with obesity. Mike emphasizes that the journey is not about perfection but about finding what works for each individual.
