    Reclaiming Fitness: Creating a Safe Space for Women to Show Up Ep. 187

    Send us Fan Mail You know that feeling when you walk into a gym and instantly want to shrink, even before you touch a weight? We are naming that pressure out loud and we are offering a better option. I sit down with Sydney Geoghan, the founder of 518GymGirls, a women’s fitness community in New York’s Capital Region built for connection, confidence, and showing up exactly as you are. About Sydney: Sydney Geoghan (26) is the founder of 518GymGirls, a women’s fitness community in New York’s Capital Region built on connection, confidence, and empowerment. After starting her own fitness journey to feel stronger and more confident, Sydney recognized a lack of supportive, judgment-free spaces for women. In July 2025, she created 518GymGirls, which began as a small group chat on BFF (formerly Geneva) and has since grown into a thriving community. A Long Island native who moved to the 518 region to attend UAlbany during COVID, Sydney experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to build connections—something that ultimately inspired her to create a space where women of all fitness levels can come together, build friendships, and feel empowered. Takeaways Women should prioritize finding communities that foster support and inclusivity. Look for fitness groups that prioritize a non-judgmental atmosphere.Understand that everyone’s fitness journey is unique, and it’s okay to start wherever you are.Engage with others who share similar goals and struggles; it makes the journey more enjoyable.

    The Disease of Obesity: Why Diets Alone Are Not Enough With Dr. Sandra Cortina Ep. 184

    Send us Fan Mail Discover why the future of weight management lies beyond the realm of traditional diet and exercise as we welcome Dr. Cortina, a leading internal medicine specialist focused on obesity management. Challenge your assumptions about Ozempic and other weight loss medications as we unravel their dual purpose beyond diabetes treatment. Dr. Cortina enlightens us on the critical role of GLP-1, a gut hormone mimicked by these medications, which offers a scientific approach to managing appetite and obesity-related health conditions like prediabetes. We dig into the complexities of assessing who qualifies for these treatments, stressing the importance of evaluating obesity-related risks. Dr. Cortina also takes on the problematic nature of the diet industry, likening it to "weight loss cartels" that often exploit vulnerable individuals. We conclude with a hopeful vision for a future where informed medical guidance prevails over diet culture, and we invite you to explore more of Dr. Cortina's insights on Instagram. About Dr. Cortina Dr. Sandra Cortina is an internal medicine specialist and diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine who practices obesity medicine in British Columbia, Canada. She has a special interest in ADHD and Binge Eating Disorder as well as managing the multifactorial causes of obesity that help ensure long-term treatment success. Her previous training includes a bachelors in Kinesiology, a masters in Public Health and a bachelors in Nursing with prior nursing practice experience in mental health, harm reduction and addiction medicine. She currently holds active memberships with the Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance and Eating Disorders Association of Canada. She is passionate about helping patients unlearn diet culture myths, and to replace them with evidence-based approaches to clinically important weight loss. As an advocate for scientific communication, she actively shares accurate weight loss information on social media and works to debunk misleading trends. Takeaways Weight loss medications should be reframed as anti-obesity medications, as their goal is to reduce the burden of excess fat tissue that leads to other health issues.Weight loss medications work by mimicking gut hormones that control appetite and help individuals feel full.Weight loss medications should be used in conjunction with lifestyle changes, such as reducing processed foods and engaging in physical activity.CONNECT WITH DR.
