What happens when a woman in menopause, a man considering bariatric surgery, and a young adult on a GLP-1 all walk into clinic?

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Leslie Golden, a dual board-certified physician in Obesity Medicine and Family Medicine and founder of Weight in Gold Wellness.

She brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work—helping patients heal their relationship with food while addressing the complex biology of weight.

Together, we walk through how she approaches three very different obesity cases, what she prioritizes first, and the exact language she uses to keep patients motivated and supported.
