In this rollercoaster of an episode, Angie and Shelly open up about their decades-long diet journeys—every plan, pill, and program under the sun. From vinegar shots at sunrise to medical weight loss procedures, they share the wins, the failures, and the surprising lessons along the way.
But this conversation goes deeper than diets. They tackle why our bodies cling to set points, the role of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, and the hard truth that losing weight doesn’t automatically solve life’s bigger problems. Funny, raw, and real—this is one you’ll feel in your gut (literally).
