The Plus SideZ: Cracking the Obesity Code

44
Medicine #100

The Plus SideZ is an Award Winning 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.

    We're not alone
    Before I found this podcast, I felt like I was the only one going through this GLP1 journey. I was getting very frustrated and ready to give up. Then I found these happy and informative folks. They just get it! They're helpful. They know what they're talking about. They make me laugh , and they center me when I'm ready to fly off the rails. I'm forever grateful for this podcast. It has saved my life.

    I Really Want to Like This Show
    And I appreciate the gave that you all are volunteers and your topic is so important for such a time as this in obesity medicine. But I think you have something here with the main hosts and personalities but you need a rundown and a moderator to act as a floor director to keep you on topic and on track. And a good sound engineer. But I do believe in the show and I truly hope that God sends the right people your way.

    Nope
    Why does the host sound so smug and superior? Like she’s talking to children or people who aren’t as “smart” as she is

    Very informative and supportive
    I love listening to these amazing women and their stories and insight. Since starting my journey and trying to find resources to help me better understand this really is a marathon and not a sprint, the difference in the care that I’ve extended to myself is drastic because of their influence. The community stories, the discussions with doctors, and the weekly laughter has become something I look forward to tuning into. Thank you Kim, Jernine, Kat, Lydia and the host of women and guest for being such a light on my individual journey and the positivity you all spread throughout the health and wellness community.

    Like the doctors
    I love the doctor interviews. The host talk over each other and sometimes overtop the guest. When that happens in blows my EarPod out. That being said the it is interesting.

    Please cut down the intros
    Love this podcast but please for the love of god edit out the 20 minutes intros of babbling. By the time I get to work (I listen in my car) I haven’t even gotten to the topic and end up abandoning the episode

    Best podcast to support an underserved community
    Love that Kim, Kat and Jernine created a loving, supportive, informative and viable community for those of us in the GLP1 community. So many issues surrounding these meds and preconceived notions. I have learned SO much and felt so much support. Please listen, be kind, and most importantly let’s learn from each other how to love ourselves more everyday. Thanks ladies!

    Informative and Fun!
    I’ve been on a GLP1 med for over a year. I’m pretty well informed and read a lot about the medications, obesity as a disease, trends, Big Pharma, and the future of obesity - and yet, every episode I learn something new. I often take notes! I’m not on Tik Tok so I’ve not heard of most of the professionals they bring on, but I’ve since enjoyed following many on IG. I don’t have any other friends on a GLP1 med and these gals make it feel like I’m sitting and chatting with friends! I highly recommend this podcast. I’ve listened to the whole back catalog of eps in two weeks and frankly, may restart! I was legitimately bummed when I listened to my last one today. I love how in-depth they go and they still stay on topic. I was listening so much that multiple people asked me if I was okay because I wasn’t calling them while driving like I usually do - I’m too busy with the pod! For scrappy podcast amateurs, the production quality is fabulous. LET’S GET LOUD!

    So good! So informative! I love that I can relate to these ladies, and their experiences living in bigger bodies and struggling with the disease of obesity. They interview professionals and Doctors in the obesity medicine world who are so knowledgeable. I love that we are getting LOUD, and sharing our stories to change the view of the world regarding obesity and medicine!!! Love you wonderful people!! 🥰
