Weight Loss Without Shame: Why Kindness Matters More Than Willpower

from Headed to Healthier | Expert Health Advice, Managing Your Health · host Brittney Anderson, MD, FAAFP | Board Certified Family Medicine Physician, Private Practice Owner

In this episode of Headed to Healthier, I’m joined by Dr. Meghan Tierney, a board-certified family medicine physician with additional training in obesity medicine and menopause care. We talk about why so many women are hard on themselves when working toward weight loss goals, how shame and perfectionism can actually stall progress, and why self-compassion is a powerful (and often missing) part of sustainable health change. This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to be miserable to get healthier — and that kindness isn’t giving up, it’s moving forward smarter. -----  Connect with Dr. Tierney Https://www.sorrelhealthandwellness.com Https://www.instagram.com/meghantierneymd Https://www.instagram.com/sorrelhealthandwellness https://www.youtube.com/@SorrelHealthandWellness   ** The Healthier Planner mentioned in this episode can be found here if you want a simple way to stay organized and intentional with your health next year.
