Description

In this powerful and relatable episode of The Weight’s Over, Sandra sits down with Julia, whose story is far from the typical "quick fix" transformation. Julia shares her deeply personal and medically complex journey of navigating surgical menopause, PCOS, endometriosis, and insulin resistance, all while overcoming a lifelong sugar addiction. Her experience is a testament to patience, resilience, and the slow but steady power of mindset change.

Her weight loss wasn’t rapid, but it was real. And more importantly, it was sustainable. Julia’s story is a reminder that lasting transformation is built over time—and that progress isn't always visible on the scales.

We Discuss:

  • Julia’s long battle with endometriosis and her late diagnosis of PCOS

  • How insulin resistance and surgical menopause impacted her weight and energy levels

  • The emotional toll of sugar addiction—and how Slimpod helped her rewire her relationship with food

  • What it’s like to feel "broken" by your hormones and finally find a way forward

  • The turning point: when exercise finally clicked and the weight started to come off

  • Why sugar cravings plummeted after she started moving more

  • The importance of kindness, patience, and persistence in the face of slow progress

  • How Julia now enjoys treats in moderation—without the food noise taking over

  • The myth of the “quick fix” and why slow, sustainable change matters most

  • Practical tips for anyone managing hormonal health conditions while trying to lose weight
