What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love this new podcast! I am a huge fan of Doc’s who lift and now the conversations you are having with Summer and other members. Having the members explain not jut the weight loss but their emotional journey but the timing of their loss and the type and dosage over their journey’s are really great to hear. I feel like we are all kindred spirits. Keep up the great work, can’t wait to hear more of these stories!
