CeCe shares what it’s like navigating hunger, identity, and bias in the fitness industry while living in a changing body, and why weight maintenance often requires more than willpower alone.Ro Chief Medical Officer Dr. Melynda Barnes joins the conversation to ground CeCe’s experience in science, explaining obesity as a chronic metabolic disease, how GLP-1 medications support long-term weight maintenance, and why movement and nutrition matter regardless of body size. Together, they unpack the impact of weight stigma in healthcare and fitness spaces, and what compassionate, evidence-based obesity care should actually look like.This episode is for anyone questioning why keeping weight off is so difficult, feeling judged for their body while prioritizing health, or seeking a clearer, stigma-free understanding of GLP-1s and long-term care.Community Guest:CeCe’s - Socials https://www.instagram.com/ceceolisa/?hl=en Professional Guest:Chief Medical Officer Dr. Melynda BarnesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melyndabarnes/Bio - https://ro.co/weight-loss/dr-melynda-barnes/ ______________________________________________________________________Join this channel to get access to perks:   / @theplussidez______________________________________________________________________#Mounjaro #MounjaroJourney #Ozempic #Semaglutide #tirzepatide  #GLP1 #Obesity #zepbound #wegovy #ObesityCare #PatientAdvocate #GLP1Community #RealGLP1StoriesSend us Fan Mail!Support the showKim Carlos, Executive Producer TikTokInstagram Kat Carter,  Producer TikTokInstagram
