What does it look like when lifestyle medicine works in real life?

In this episode, Dr. Sarah Schuetz interviews her patient, Kam, whose journey through lifestyle medicine led to a 50-pound weight loss, fewer medications, and a life filled with more energy, movement, and confidence.

Kam shares how she learned to truly understand nutrition, not just follow a guide, how she gradually built physical activity into her life through Pilates and weight training, and how she learned to navigate real-world challenges like large family gatherings without falling off track.

Dr. Schuetz reflects on how lifestyle medicine shifts the power back to the patient — providing tools instead of temporary fixes — and why this model creates lasting change.

This conversation is honest, hopeful, and deeply motivating for anyone who wants to believe that change is still possible.
