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.

Featured on Good Morning America, Bloomberg News, and ABC Nightline on Hulu, we’re at the forefront of the conversation on weight loss, obesity care, and the fight to end weight bias.

What does it mean to start GLP-1 treatment later in life… after years of trying to make weight loss work? In this episode, Kim and Kat talk with Dr. Lindsey Ogle, an obesity specialist, and Deb Cooperman, an obesity care advocate and content creator, about starting GLP-1 treatment in your 60s and why the experience can feel different this time around. As more adults over 60 explore GLP-1 medications, Deb shares her story openly, from decades of diet culture and early messaging about weight to grief, food noise, and navigating obesity treatment later in life. And we also discuss the upcoming coverage of GLP-1s for obesity on Medicare (and maybe Medicaid) in July 2026. Dr. Ogle helps connect those experiences to the science, including expectations, side effects, protein, muscle preservation, and what support can look like as we age. What we cover: - GLP-1 weight loss over 60 - Food noise and obesity beyond willpower - Diet culture and lifelong messaging around weight - Grief, stress, and emotional eating - Protein, muscle preservation, and aging on GLP-1s - Side effects and realistic expectations Follow Deb https://www.tiktok.com/@debcooperman?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Follow Dr. Ogle https://www.tiktok.com/@dr..lindsay.ogle?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc _________________________________________________________________________ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0HUIGKl3BN4Vg6LYI-dkOA/join _________________________________________________________________________ #Mounjaro #MounjaroJourney #Ozempic #Semaglutide #tirzepatide #GLP1 #Obesity #zepbound #wegovy
