    Heal Your Body With Dr. Jamie Gilliam  In this inspiring episode of The Heal Your Body Show titled "Defeating Obesity: Brenda's Story," Dr. Jamie Gilliam sits down with special guest Brenda Siebold to explore her remarkable journey through weight loss and overcoming obesity. Brenda shares her deeply personal story, detailing the challenges she faced, the strategies that helped her succeed, and the emotional and physical transformations she experienced along the way. Dr. Gilliam provides expert insights into the medical and psychological aspects of obesity, offering valuable advice for anyone struggling with weight loss. Together, they discuss the importance of accepting and loving yourself, the role of patience and resilience, the power of a support system, and the impact that achieving a healthier lifestyle can have on overall well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking motivation, practical tips, and a real-life example of triumph over adversity in the battle against obesity. Brenda has struggled with obesity since early childhood and was morbidly obese throughout most of her adult life. Shortly after giving birth to her fourth child at 28, she was diagnosed with Graves' Disease. Following four years of treatment she was deemed in remission, but the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction due to Graves' disease continued. After another eight years of primary care doctor visits, incomplete lab work, and no explanations for her symptoms she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at age 40. Six years later she had her thyroid removed due to papillary thyroid cancer. At the age of 50, she was 300 pounds and food binging, suffering with inflammation, exhaustion and depression. She had nurtured a 20 plus year addiction to alcohol binge drinking and a pack a day smoking habit. In July of 2022, her doctor prescribed a GLP-1/GIP medication, Mounjaro, to treat her obesity. Her journey toward health began. At 52, while things aren't always easy as she navigates living with Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism and this new menopausal phase of life, she is joyfully living sober, healthy and free of the shame and guilt that once defined her. She shares her story on social media to encourage others that there is hope! *Listen now on the Inspired Choices Network app!  https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/links/ Light From The Shadows: Enriching The Lives Of Others Inspired Choices Network Hosts Author Dr. Jamie Gilliam   Amazon.com – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1738249417 Amazon.ca – https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1738249417     ~ More About Heal Your Body with Dr. Jamie Gilliam ~  Dr. Jamie Gilliam is the founder of JG Wellness Clinic, where they specialize in addressing various health concerns, with a focus on thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalances within the endocrine system, autoimmune diseases, and assisting patients striving to achieve weight loss goals.
