Number 1: We're Back... well one of us is anyway 👀
WE’RE BACK! 🎙️ After 13 weeks away, Paddy and Belinda are reunited, the Pen Pals are officially a thing, and somehow we’ve already had an HR dispute within the first 30 seconds. * Support us with a coffee!

Paddy has gone from secretly running a 10K to completing his first half marathon, started therapy for the first time, begun fixing his teeth, and, after months of frustration, finally broken through his weight loss plateau and reached a brand new low. Meanwhile, Belinda gets very real about discovering she’s regained 14lbs over the past year, why maintenance hasn’t gone the way she expected, the possible role of medication, and why she refuses to see this setback as the end of her story. We also talk weight loss medication, food noise, long term treatment, DEXA scans, loose skin, body changes, the things we wish we’d tracked from day one, and what’s coming up in Season 4. Plus, Paddy discovers Pilates, Belinda still can’t speak into her microphone, we introduce our imaginary back office staff, and a perfectly innocent conversation about plant milk takes a deeply unfortunate turn. Basically, The Dose is back. Same honesty. Same chaos. Slightly better production. Welcome back, Pen Pals. ❤️ Disclaimer: This podcast shares personal experience and general information only.

Tap here to send us a whatsapp message ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or if you can’t tap, simply send your message to: +353851343766 This week, we’re catching up on everything, from unexpected online drama to something even more shocking… Paddy has started running.....Yes, you read that right. From lungs on fire and knee pain to knocking out consistent 5Ks. We also get into:The reality of navigating criticism online (and why people forget there’s a real person behind the screen)What “maintenance” actually looks like in real life, not the polished versionWeekend indulgence, Chinese takeaways, cupcakes… and the reality check that comes afterThe truth about progress, setbacks, and why nothing is ever as linear as it looks And as always, we don’t hold back on calling out the nonsense, especially when it comes to unsafe trends and misinformation in the weight loss space. Honest, unfiltered, and probably a bit too real at times, but that’s what you come here for. Disclaimer: This podcast shares personal experience and general information only.
