Lived Experiences and Obstacles in Obesity – Ragav Sharma, DO and Jonathan Alessi

Obesity is a topic we have discussed several times on the podcast including a recent deep dive into the subject. However, we have nearly always approached it with the birds-eye view merely talking about it or others with it. In this episode, Jon and I dive into our own stories and experiences with obesity having both lost nearly 90 pounds at one point.

Jon and I discuss our motivations for weight loss, our journey, how we navigated various obstacles along the way, our current weight status, and our current and future views on obesity. We hope this episode is relatable to those dealing with obesity serving as both an informative and inspirational roll to those currently in a similar situation.
