FGT 59: What If The Hard Part Isn’t Hunger But The Story In Your Head

Send us Fan Mail

We’re recording like it’s a 2007 three-way call because the internet bailed, but the upside is you get the most honest version of our catch-up. We start with the everyday realities a lot of Canadians are feeling right now: grocery bills that don’t match the cart, gas prices that change overnight, and the very real math of whether an electric vehicle and EV charging costs in Canada would actually help. Somehow that turns into hair talk too, because rain, frizz, greys, and “do I look my age” are all part of the same bigger theme: how we live in our bodies while the world keeps getting louder.

Then we get into the heavy stuff we’ve both been carrying. We share updates on the bariatric surgery route, including inconsistent program rules, frustrating admin hiccups, and why seeing a dietitian matters when you’re trying to make changes that last. We talk protein targets, building a breakfast habit, reducing caffeine and carbonated drinks without going scorched-earth, and how workplace food culture can make boundaries feel weird even when you’re doing great.

We also unpack GLP‑1 medications like Ozempic, Saxenda, and Wegovy from the patient side: cost, insurance denials, the pressure to “lose fast,” and the mental health risks that don’t get enough airtime. The biggest takeaway is the difference between fullness and food noise, plus what it looks like to treat binge eating disorder as more than willpower, including therapy and why some people find Vyvanse helpful. We also tease what’s coming next: Fit For TV: The Reality Of The Biggest Loser, because we have thoughts and they’re loud.
