This podcast was recommended to me by a mutual friend of mine and Joy. I am a little bit overweight, but I’ve never been obese. I’m writing this review to tell people that you don’t have to have a problem with weight at all to find this podcast insightful, and challenging, and helpful with self image and diet culture and self-worth. I have so much respect for Joy and for the introspection and research she has done, and the courage to share so much of herself with a wide audience. Brava!!

This is one of the most emotionally raw and honest podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Dr. Joy’s journey is long and difficult and she’s showing us how important it is to be honest and true to ourselves.

Dr. Joy Bracey is so honest, vulnerable and shares here own life experiences regarding having the disease of obesity. She shares life experiences and discusses how she has had to change her thinking and make difficult decisions to help herself manage this disease. Thankyou so much for this podcast! So many of us are right there with you. There is nothing easy about using GLPs or having weight loss surgery and Dr. Joy discusses her own experiences and also discusses how we need to love ourselves first!

Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and real to your self. I came across you by chance and I’m so grateful I did. I love your message and the information you are providing to the public. I wish you continued success. I just want to say also loved the episode with your kids!!!! I too have a fat family too and it was a aha moment for me. Hearing your kids perspective on this topic. Anyways keep doing what you doing everyone needs to hear it ❤️

Dr Joy takes us through her journey while teaching us valuable information and giving us new ways of thinking about our weight and bodies and self- love. Should be required listening. 💛

I’ve been listening to Dr. Joy Bracey for only a short period of time through Instagram and I am continually impressed by the valuable content she discusses. Her posts have been incredibly uplifting and insightful. They speak to me about motivation, positive self-image, maintaining a healthy outlook, and perseverance. As a mental health therapist, her expertise and authenticity shines through each time, offering encouragement and guidance to those in need. I highly recommend Dr. Joy Bracey for anyone seeking inspiration and mental wellness support.

This heartfelt podcast felt like talking to a friend. It tackled a serious topic with honesty, humility, and humor. I would recommend it to anyone who struggles with obesity or loves someone who does.

I’m inspired by Joyce’s story. Thank you for sharing it.

Dr. Bracey explains the process of assessing the problems of being an obese person, both health wise and emotionally. She gives reasons that ultimately pointed to how it was affecting her life and making the decision to change.

Dr. Joy exudes love, compassion and support throughout her podcast. Every word is clear and heartfelt without exaggeration or hype… I’m truly amazed at her communication skills which have been shared for the benefit of others… many thanks!!
