About the Guide

I have been fat my whole life. I have also read 200+ books about why. This is what I found.


The Short Version

In 2006, I lost 90 pounds and wore a size 6. I was miserable. I hated myself more than I ever had. I was hardly in that body for 30 seconds before I started gaining it back.

That was the moment I realized: the problem was never my weight. The problem was everything I believed about my weight. So I started reading. And I have not stopped.

200+ books. A clinical trial for a drug that does not exist yet. A coaching certification from Harvard. 30 years of my own data. This site is where I put it all down — plainly, honestly, without the usual wellness nonsense.

What This Site Is

I write about obesity, GLP-1 medications, emotional eating, perimenopause, and the gap between getting a prescription and actually changing your life. I write it the way I wish someone had written it for me — short, clear, honest, and without pretending it is simple.
