    Convo with Lou Lionetti: “I Never Knew What ‘Full’ Meant”

    Lou Lionetti spent decades not knowing what hunger or fullness actually felt like, eating his feelings, and indulging in “food is love” at every family table until type 2 diabetes and a decade of rising labs caught up with him. In the third episode of Weighty Conversations, Lou shares what finally quieted the noise, and how “consistent, not compulsive” became his mantra for success. Consistent, not compulsive. That’s the Vineyard way. Get started here: → joinvineyard.com/join/

    Convo with Summer Kessel: What Decades of Dieting Couldn't Fix, But A GLP-1 Could

    Summer Kessel spent decades as a dietitian who couldn't out-diet her own appetite. She tracked her calories and exercised, but hit a wall at 200 pounds no matter what, and was left quietly wondering what was wrong with her. In the first episode of Weighty Conversations, Summer shares the moment she learned that food noise is biology, not a character flaw, and what life is like now that she trusts hunger again.
