What if your biggest transformation couldn’t be measured by pounds lost… but by peace gained?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Kelli sits down with Adrian Gledhill, former Biggest Loser contestant, to explore the untold mental health side of weight loss. Beyond the workouts and weigh-ins, Adrian opens up about her experience with trauma, anxiety, and the internal pressure that followed her even after the cameras stopped rolling.

Together, we unpack:

How trauma and stress can distort body image and self-worth

The emotional cost of “performative” weight loss

The real reason anxiety often returns after external transformation

Adrian’s experience with micro-dosing GLP-1s for gentle metabolic and mental health support

The radical self-love practices that finally brought her peace

Why healing is never just physical—and why quantum mental health matters

Whether you’ve struggled with weight, anxiety, or the feeling that you’re “never enough,” this episode is a reminder: you are not broken—and you don’t have to hustle to heal.

✨ This is healing from the inside out.
