Summary

Hey Heal Squad! After this week's conversation about GLP-1s, we wanted to bring back this Throwback Thursday episode because it offers a completely different perspective on weight loss. Maria sits down with Dr. Gary Foster, former Chief Scientific Officer at WW (WeightWatchers), to explore why lasting weight loss isn't just about what you eat, it's about how you think. Together, they unpack the mindset shifts that help people create sustainable habits, overcome shame, build self-compassion, and stop falling into the all-or-nothing cycle that keeps so many of us stuck. Maria also shares her own 40-pound weight loss journey, the simple strategies that helped her keep it off, and why focusing on small, consistent changes was far more powerful than chasing the next diet. Whether you're considering GLP-1s, already taking them, or simply looking for a healthier relationship with food, this episode is a powerful reminder that lasting change starts with your mindset!
