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.

    The scale has ruled health for decades, but modern obesity care shows it only tells part of the story. In this episode, we explore how GLP-1 therapies and advanced body composition analysis provide a clearer picture of health beyond weight alone. We discuss BMI, the Body Roundness Index, SECA body composition insights, why baselines matter, and how new global guidance is reshaping the future of obesity treatment.

    In this holiday special, we explore obesity as a chronic disease and how GLP-1 medications are changing treatment, access, and outcomes. Our expert guest, Dr Robyn Pashby, breaks down the differences between GLP-1 therapy and bariatric surgery, explains types of disordered eating and emotional eating, and discusses the mental and social adjustments that often come with significant weight loss.

    We also address weight bias in medicine, body image after weight change, and how food-centered holidays can impact those who are actively losing weight or maintaining on a GLP-1. This episode offers practical coping strategies, compassionate insight, and evidence-based guidance for navigating food, emotions, and health during the holidays.
