Really Life Changing

I thoroughly enjoy Dr. Mary and Dr. Lucy's podcast! Their weekly episodes, ranging from 20 to 30 minutes, provide a wealth of easily digestible information (pardon the pun). I appreciate their positive messages and the humor they inject into their stories. The podcast takes a holistic approach to real-life health and mindset, making it both informative and entertaining. Highly recommended!

Very validating information

These doctors really hear what their patients and clients are saying and have such understanding as they lived the same experiences. They make it easy to understand that it really is not our fault and guide us easily into taking back control of our health and weight. They do it without judgement or expecting perfection.

These podcasts are really life changing for so many people.

Thank you so much Dr Lucy and Dr Mary.

oxide. She also shares practical tips like the LSD technique (Light, Slow, Deep) to
