This episode dives deep into the emotional complexities surrounding body image during a weight loss journey, examining how perceptions can often lag behind physical changes.

Paddy shares his experiences with body image over the years, while Belinda reflects on societal beauty standards and the influence of social media on self-esteem. Our conversation delves into the dynamics of relationships during weight loss journeys.

We also chat about the Drama Llama that sometimes comes with putting content out online, and how its so important to engage with social media accounts that make you feel good and help you on your journey as opposed to try to bring people down and body shame.

Combined Paddy & Belindas weight loss totals over 170lbs supported by GLP1 Medications Ozempic & Mounjaro.

In this episode of The Dose Paddy is joined by Rob Cumiskey who shares his journey of weight gain, being on Ozempic and more recently undergoing bariatric surgery and the next step in his journey. 

Rob has also undertaken studies to now work as a coach via his own company Bennu Health Coaching specializing in supporting clients who may be on / considering their own bariatric or medicated weight loss journeys. 

We also ask Rob to share his hints and tips on how to approach the Christmas season which we know can not only be a time of joy, but also a time of increased anxiety around food and social events for so many too. 

We're also proud of this episode as it's not to often you hear two guys, especially in Ireland - sitting down talking about the topics covered in this podcast.
