E47: Heart Health, Diabetes Medications, and Holiday Weight Tips with Dr. Catherine Toomer

Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week I am joined by Dr. Catherine Toomer to explore GLP-1 and SGLT2 medications for heart failure and diabetes, along with tips for handling holiday weight. Dr. Toomer is a physician entrepreneur, certified hypnotherapist, and NLP Practitioner. She founded TOTAL Weight Care InstituteTM to create comprehensive and compassionate weight health practices for both patients and practitioners to remove the shame-for-change model too often seen in wellness transformational spaces.Dr. Toomer developed her highly successful TOTAL Wellness + Weight Loss programs based on the biopsychosocial system she used to lose over 100-pounds, reverse her insulin-dependent diabetes, and survive postpartum cardiomyopathy & depression.When not creating courses and individualized health plans, Dr. Toomer is a keynote & TEDx speaker, host of Dr. Toomer Talks & a popular guest on numerous podcasts. She enjoys teaching complex processes in language people understand while adding tools that can be immediately implemented.0:00 Welcome back!
