Over the past three years, a clear pattern has emerged. Many patients trace their struggles with weight back to childhood, shaped by family dynamics, support, and the ripple effects of diet culture.

GLP-1 medications are changing obesity treatment by addressing biology, and obesity is largely genetic. It is also multifactorial. Factors like stress, trauma, and early environments do not cause obesity on their own, but they can make it harder to manage. Yet this part of the conversation is often missing. While attention is placed on medication or diet and exercise, the impact of lived experience is rarely addressed.

In this episode, we cover:

  •  How childhood and family dynamics shape long-term patterns 
  •  The impact of stress, trauma, and narcissistic relationships on weight management 
  •  Boundaries, including low contact and no contact, as part of healing 
  •  Why lived experience matters in obesity conversations 

This episode is led by co-host and producer Kat Carter, who brings both expertise and personal perspective to a conversation that is often overlooked.

Guest

This episode features insights from Dr. Sherrie Campbell, a licensed psychologist with over two decades of experience specializing in trauma, family dynamics, and helping people set boundaries with toxic relationships.
