From Struggle to Success: Conquering Obesity and Sustaining Weight Loss

"It's not your fault, it's not your fault, it's not your fault" were the empathetic words from Dr. Inwood, during this interview. Do you know the average American consumes 250-300g of carbs!!

Dr. Inwood reviewed Ozempic and other weight loss drugs as well as she explained their unique Fresh Start program that gives patients well-rounded solutions to weight loss. This episode is packed with information about "food products", achieving a realistic mindset, behavior modification, to prescription options, all in an effort to educate. 

Dr. Inwood has been part of the obesity unit for the past 5 years. It dawned on her that her most rewarding patient journeys were ones where patients lost weight but noticed the side effects of improved underlying medical issues!  She knew she was making a lasting impact on patient's lives and she wanted to do more!

Raechel McGhee is a post-bariatric patient and is currently a bariatric social worker at Southcoast Health.  Raechel was under the impression that she had reached "good enough" in her weight loss journey. After working with Dr. Inwood, Raechel has had an even more dramatic transformation. She does not deny that it's challenging but knows a lot of tools that have helped her and she shares her first-hand experience with her. Dr. Inwood and Raechel agree, start with food then exercise and get in touch with the voices in your head!
