Episode 30
Thursday, 15 January, 2026
Welcome to The Weight Loss Collab! In today’s episode, Dr. Dovec and Hannah Schuyler sit down with a very special guest, Christie Woodard, a patient who’s not only transformed her life through bariatric surgery, but is also a passionate advocate for breaking the stigma around weight loss and GLP-1 medications.Christie shares her personal journey: from years of struggling with weight, health challenges, and self-doubt, to making the pivotal decision to undergo gastric bypass surgery, and later to openly embracing the use of GLP-1 medications as part of her ongoing treatment. Along the way, she discusses the emotional highs and lows, the reality of post-surgical weight regain, and the powerful impact of finding community and support throughout the process.You’ll hear insightful discussion around the myths and realities of GLP-1 medications, the importance of seeing obesity as a treatable disease rather than a personal failing, and how shame and judgment have hijacked the weight loss conversation for too long. Plus, Christie’s inspiring story of running half marathons in all 50 states (and how her healthier lifestyle made it possible!) will motivate anyone considering a transformative step in their own journey. Join the BodyByTransformation Retreat: The Butterfly Effect May 1st and 2nd in Orlando, FL to hear more about Christie's incredible journey!Whether you’re curious about the medical side of weight loss, looking for motivation, or just want to hear real talk from people who get it, this episode offers honest insights, candid stories, and a dose of hope for anyone fighting to reclaim their health.
