In this episode of Between Two White Coats, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster continue their conversation with social media influencer Kristen (@EveryDayisDarling). After shedding significant weight with GLP-1 medications, Kristen opens up about the maintenance phase of her journey—what life looked like after hitting her goal weight, and how she worked to sustain her results.

Together, they discuss:

• Why focusing on habits and health over a number on the scale is key.
• The reality of “food noise” and how Kristen manages it in maintenance.
• How simple movement (like walks with her kids) can be more sustainable than grueling gym sessions.
• The role of medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide in supporting—not replacing—healthy choices.
• Why obesity should be viewed and treated as a disease, not a moral failure.

This conversation is packed with encouragement, practical takeaways, and a fresh perspective on what happens after the weight loss journey begins. Whether you’re curious about GLP-1 medications, navigating maintenance yourself, or just need a reminder that wellness is about progress, not perfection—this episode is for you.
