The Mental Side of Fat Loss No One Talks About

To sign up for my coaching: https://ob-health.com/My guest Sam is a licensed therapist and a client at OB Health, which makes this one different. We get into the mental side of fat loss almost no one talks about: why you self-sabotage, why shame keeps you stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle, how to take imperfect action, and what it actually takes to trust yourself again. We also cover GLPs and muscle, why women are targeted in this space, the diets that leave lasting damage, and her own non-scale wins along the way.Ready to work on the mental side and the physical side together?
