Looking for real information on GLP-1 medications and weight loss? You’re in the right place.
The Plus SideZ Podcast is your go-to space for science-backed conversations about obesity treatment, weight loss, and living with a chronic metabolic disorder. Hosted by Kim Carlos and Kat Carter, we explore GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, featuring insights from leading obesity specialists, endocrinologists, and bariatric surgeons. But this podcast is about more than just medication—it’s about navigating the mental, emotional, and physical journey of reclaiming your health.
We combat misinformation with education from top experts, helping you think critically about the latest research, treatment options, and systemic challenges in obesity care. And at the heart of it all are the powerful, vulnerable stories of our brave community members—people sharing their real experiences on GLP-1 medications, breaking stigma, and taking control of their health.

Ashley Johnston Palu was a finalist on The Biggest Loser Season 9 — and like so many contestants, she regained the weight after the cameras stopped. In this emotional and unfiltered fireside chat, Ashley reveals what really went on behind the weigh-ins: hours-long workouts with Jillian Michaels, extreme calorie restriction, and the silent toll on her metabolism and mental health.
Now on a GLP-1 medication, Ashley shares how this approach — grounded in science and self-compassion — is drastically different from the shame-fueled spectacle of reality TV. Joined by Dr. Matthea Rentea, a board-certified obesity specialist, we unpack the truth about food noise, insulin resistance, and why obesity is a chronic disease, not a moral failure.
This conversation isn’t just about healing — it’s about changing the narrative. We want to move toward a world where obesity is no longer entertainment, but understood as the complex medical condition it is. No more game shows. No more public weigh-ins. Just truth, care, and the freedom to reclaim health on your own terms.
