Fork That Magic Number On the Scale

Welcome to The Forking Truth!

In this insightful episode, Dr. Nina and Dr. Alisa take a deep dive into the idea of the "magic number", that elusive goal weight so many of us have been conditioned to chase. They unpack how society, diet culture, and even generational messaging have ingrained the belief that a certain number on the scale equals happiness, success, and self-worth.

From emotional attachments to unrealistic expectations, this conversation shines a light on how numbers can dominate our self-image and keep us from experiencing true confidence and well-being. Dr. Nina and Dr. Alisa explore how redefining confidence, questioning inherited beliefs, and prioritizing emotional health can help listeners find freedom from the number game.

Whether you're currently pursuing a health journey or re-evaluating your relationship with weight, this episode offers a compassionate, empowering reminder: you are more than a number.
