This week on Dawnversations, I’m joined by Gretchen Zimmermann, MBA, RD, LD, CDCES, CSOWM, VP of Clinical Strategy at Vida Health. Gretchen has spent her career cutting through the noise around obesity and nutrition — and in this episode, she helps us separate fact from fiction.
We bust some of the most common myths about weight loss, obesity, and “quick fix” diets, plus talk about why lasting health is a whole lot more complex than calorie counts and willpower. We even touch on The Biggest Loser and what that show got wrong (and right) about changing your body.
Whether you’ve struggled with weight yourself, or just want a clearer picture of how nutrition and obesity really work, this conversation is packed with insight and honesty.
✨ Listen in and walk away with a fresh perspective on food, health, and what it really takes to feel your best.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
