Description

Today, Mary from our GLP1 Mounjaro TikTok community tells her story of struggling with genetic obesity, depression, anxiety, and ADHD and explains how Mounjaro has changed her life for the better by treating her metabolic dysfunction, the disease of obesity. We are also joined by Dr. Jennah Siwak, a board-certified obesity specialist, known fondly as @WeightDoc within our TikTok GLP1 Ozempic / Wegovy Mounjaro community. We discuss one of the biggest issues with obesity is the lack of informed doctors, which leads to uninformed patients and society. We see and hear so much Fearmongering in the media using FUD messaging (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) to scare and discourage people from trying GLP1s to treat obesity and other metabolic issues. So many doctors continue what they think is the tried and true “eat less, move more” and blame the obese patient. Just as there are people who can eat whatever they want, not exercise, and never gain weight, the exact opposite is also true. If you struggle with obesity, know that you are not alone, and it is not your fault. Support the showKim Carlos @DMFKimonMounjaro on TikTokJernine Trott @TheeJernine on TikTokKat Carter @KatCarter7 on TikTokLydia Roberts @mounjaro_GLP_Help on TikTok

The Plus SideZ is a Health and Wellness podcast that grew out of a TikTok trend turned movement! Our mission is to educate people & remove the stigma that surrounds obesity. We advocate for access to affordable medications for ALL who need it! Join us weekly to hear inspiring stories from community members who have struggled with obesity and related health conditions like PCOS, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes as they share how GLP1 medication therapy like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro has improved their lives. We also bring in medical obesity experts, pharmacists, health insurance specialists, and heads of DEI to provide scientific and factual information to support these stories. Join the MOVEMENT as we journey towards a healthier and more inclusive society.Want to donate?
