🎙️ In this powerful episode, we sit down with Christina — a bariatric surgery patient whose journey with weight loss has been anything but linear. From school-age diets to trying the 5:2 method, and even braving cold baths in the name of fat-burning, Christina has done it all in her search for a sustainable solution.
And while some methods brought short-term results, it was bariatric surgery that finally offered the lasting change she had been chasing for years.
Christina opens up about:
🔹 Why she chose surgery after years of trying everything else
🔹 How her life — physically, emotionally, and socially — has changed post-op
🔹 The misconceptions around bariatric surgery
🔹 What real support looks like for someone going through this process
Whether you’re considering surgery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about what really works when it comes to long-term health, this episode is full of honest insight, practical advice, and a whole lot of humanity.
