E9: My COVID Weight Gain and What I Did About It - a podcast by Dr. Melissa Cioffi, PT

In this VERY transparent episode, I dive deep into how I gained the COVID 20, and what I did about it. And the answer might surprise you.

As a health and wellness professional, I felt shame around the fact that I gained 20 lbs during quarantine: I should know better, I should do better. But what does this type of thinking actually afford anyone? In this episode, I wanted to be as transparent as possible, letting you all know that even as healthcare practitioners, we are not perfect. However, how we go about treating ourselves in spite of things like weight gain and not having the healthiest of habits is the most important thing we can do for our actual health and wellness. Shaming ourselves into a smaller body is never one of them.
