14. The Weight Loss Struggle is Real – Kari Andrews Shares Her Story & GLP-1 Experience

In this episode of Girlfriend’s Guide to Midlife, I’m sitting down with my dear friend Kari Andrews to have a real, honest conversation about her lifelong journey with weight—something so many of us can relate to. As we celebrate her 50th birthday, Kari opens up about the ups and downs she’s faced, from trying countless diets to undergoing lap band surgery, and now finding success with GLP-1 medications. We’re talking about food noise, the societal stigma around obesity, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to health. Kari’s story is one of resilience, self-care, and learning to tune out the noise to do what’s right for her—and I know it’s going to inspire so many of you. If you’ve ever struggled with weight, felt judged for your choices, or just want to hear an open and refreshing take on what it really means to prioritize your health in midlife, this episode is for you.   Come Connect with Me & Other Girlfriend’s in Midlife: Follow Me on Instagram Follow the Podcast on Instagram Join the Girlfriend’s Guide to Midlife Facebook Community Follow @thekariandrews on Instagram    Thank you for tuning in to this episode!
