Mel and Jenn make the case for why openness changes the outcome.Food noise vs. overthinking — Jenn's three and a half years on GLP-1s meets Mel's work with overthinkers, and the overlap is more than you'd expect.The scale is lying to you — why a traditional scale isn't the data you need, what a body composition scale actually tells you, and why that number matters more than the one on the floor.Identity and weight loss — losing weight doesn't automatically change how you see yourself. Mel breaks down why the identity piece is the one most people skip, and what happens when they do.It takes all three — medicine, movement, mindset.
