In this episode of Make Your Mark, I focus on the often-ignored mental and emotional side of weight gain and obesity. I talk about why understanding the reasons behind long-term weight struggles matters for sustainable change, and why I have started working with a psychotherapist to address this.

I am also joined by Killian, who appeared on Operation Transformation over ten years ago and has successfully maintained his weight loss. We chat about what has worked for him, his love of running, and staying active long term.

I then share my thoughts on an Irish Times article on weight loss medication that I partly disagree with, followed by a discussion on hair loss and rapid weight loss, referencing a video by Dr Amir Khan.

This episode is about balance, mindset, and approaching weight loss in a way that supports both mental and physical health.

Welcome to episode three of Make Your Mark.

This week, I’m starting by talking about my old all or nothing approach to dieting. How that mindset kept me stuck for years, and how it’s finally changed with the help of Mounjaro.

I’ll then be discussing recent news from Ireland, where the HSE has said that Mounjaro is not considered value for money and won’t be offered to people who need it. We’ll look at what that means, and the wider conversation around access to weight loss medication.

After that, I’m joined by Paul, who shares his weight loss journey online. He opens up about a particularly difficult experience he’s been through recently and how it’s affected him both mentally and physically.

And finally, I’ll be talking about an Instagram video that breaks down whether you should be doing cardio before or after weights, and what actually makes the most sense.

A great episode ahead. Let’s get started.

Welcome to episode two of Make Your Mark.

This week, I’m talking about my experiences with different diets. What worked, what didn’t and why they all eventually led me to regain the weight.

I’ll also be discussing a recent article about a woman from the UK who sadly died after taking black-market weight loss medication, a really important reminder of the risks people take when they’re desperate to lose weight.

Then I’ll be joined by Gerard, who shares his weight loss journey with Mounjaroon social media. We’ll talk about his progress, challenges, and what keeps him motivated.

And finally, I’ll be talking about a video I came across about a nutrient that many people aren’t getting enough of while using weight loss medication and no, it’s not protein.
