The Dose with Paddy and Belinda

More Than a Jab: The Uneducated PT Karl O’Rourke on the Power of GLP-1s and Belonging [S2E9]


Listen Later

What if the most powerful part of your weight loss journey wasn’t the number on the scale — but the people you meet along the way?

In this episode of The Dose, Paddy and Belinda sit down with Karl O’Rourke — better known as The Uneducated PT — for an eye-opening, no-BS conversation about weight loss medications, fitness culture, and why real health starts with feeling like you belong.

Karl opens up about the loneliness that nearly broke him, why social health matters more than we think, and how the fitness industry often gets it very wrong when it comes to weight loss medication. This one isn’t about six-packs or shame — it’s about honesty, empathy, and what it really means to feel well in your body and in your life.

If you've ever felt judged, misunderstood, or unsure where you fit in this journey, this episode is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.
