Growing up a fat child, it's taken several decades to learn that Obesity is a genetic and biochemical disease/issue that can now be helped with medications. I took Fen-Phen, had an RNY Gastric Bypass, and have been on GLP-1s since late July 2022. I was a midwife and birth worker for 32 years, writing about midwifery in a defunct blog, Navelgazing Midwife. I have another blog called Navelgazing Writer, but am concentrating on this one for now. I am in a world I'm familiar with and adore: Medicine and Obesity. The words are flowing! Come along with me.
