Customer Reviews
Recommend
Really good series and thoroughly recommend. If you are planning a 2nd series, it would be great to have more “reality” guests and less professionals. I would like to hear more real life stories. Many thanks
Thank you
Thank you I will listen every week. So informative and great to hear real life experiences. I am currently at end of tier 3 NHS pathway for bariatric surgery.
Great podcast dealing with issues surrounding living with obesity
Great content from a range of people who are living ( or have lived ) with obesity. The speakers are well informed and have experienced many of the issues that affect people who are living with obesity .
Looking forward to future episodes .
