Everyone wants to lose weight—few stop to ask why. And even fewer talk about what it’s actually costing them.In this episode, hosts Derek Berkey and Natalie Garland sit down with Dr. Stephen Jones and Keilani Mason, LMHC to explore the less-talked-about side of weight loss: the mental load, the identity shifts, and the pressure that hides beneath good intentions.You’ll hear:
– How shame and generational messaging shape our relationship with food
– When GLP-1s are the right tool—and when they’re a distraction
– Why men face growing pressure around body image, too
– What it looks like to pursue change from a place of respect, not resentment
This is a conversation about more than just weight. It’s about self-worth, stewardship, and finally making peace with the body you live in.
