The Plus SideZ: A GLP-1 Guide to Metabolic Health

by Kim Carlos

Looking for real information on GLP-1 medications and weight loss? You’re in the right place. The Plus SideZ Podcast is your go-to space for science-backed conversations about obesity treatment, weight loss, and living with a chronic metabolic disorder. Hosted by Kim Carlos and Kat Carter, we explore GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound, featuring insights from leading obesity specialists, endocrinologists, and bariatric surgeons. But this podcast is about more than just medication—it’s about navigating the mental, emotional, and physical journey of reclaiming your health. We combat misinformation with education from top experts, helping you think critically about the latest research, treatment options, and systemic challenges in obesity care. And at the heart of it all are the powerful, vulnerable stories of our brave community members—people sharing their real experiences on GLP-1 medications, breaking stigma, and taking control of their health. Ranked in the top 1% of podcasts globally, The Plus SideZ Podcast has won three awards in just 18 months, including two Anthem Awards for social impact. Featured on Good Morning America, Bloomberg News, and ABC Nightline on Hulu, we’re at the forefront of the conversation on weight loss, obesity care, and the fight to end weight bias. Join us and be part of a movement that’s changing the way the world understands obesity, health, and metabolic wellness. Our Linktree  https://linktr.ee/theplussidez Want to donate?

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Great topics and discussion, however the sound quality especially when guests are on is lacking. Sometimes the conversation is hard to understand.

tstanger52 · Oct 2025

I have learned so much from this podcast. I truly believe I won an appeal with CVS Caremark because of your information over past month. So helpful!

Jolena 55! · Oct 2025

The Plus Sidez podcast does a fantastic job at providing a platform for advocacy for access to GLP-1 medicines and Kim and Kat are shining a light on the way things are broken here in the US. They provide a well rounded balance of educational content/guests, advocacy content/guests and stories from people within the community that are on GLP-1 meds. This is a podcast that will make you smarter so you too can advocate for access, whether it’s a GLP-1 or another critical medication. Well done ladies!

Faithchick2000 · Jul 2025

I LOVE this podcast. I’m about a month into my time on a GLP1, but I’ve been listening to The Plus SideZ for months in preparation for it. The podcast is so informative, with conversations with doctors, advocates, people who are using the medication, and more … all in an effort to educate people and provide science-backed research and the latest information on the medication and the metabolic issues that it helps. They also work to break the stigma that exists against people with obesity, and against the people who are reclaiming their health by using these life-changing medications. The Plus SideZ is my go-to for all things GLP1 and reclaiming my heath.
