And what it isn’t.Not a lack of discipline.Not a simple equation of calories in and out.Not a moral failure.We talk about why weight regain is expected, not exceptional.Why GLP-1 is often a long-term treatment — not a quick fix.And why midlife women are often told to “try harder” when their biology is working against them.Dr. Gordon also shares her own experience with GLP-1 — and what changed when the constant fight with food finally quieted.This is a conversation about shifting the narrative from blame to biology.You can find Dr Gordon at www.drgordon.me or on Instagram: @drmichellegordonThis podcast shares lived experiences and opinions.
