How One TikToker’s Chronic Weight Management Journey is Inspiring Others: Angel Scheer’s Story
Manage episode 413896107 series 3451144
As humans, we thrive through connection. And when we embark on a journey to improve our metabolic health, I’m a strong believer that we need continual inspiration to guide us along the way and remind us that we’re all in this together. For me, a huge source of that inspiration has come from Angel Scheer, someone who I have followed for a long time on TikTok.
Angel has struggled with obesity and weight her entire life. And what I've observed over time since following Angel is the evolution of her approach to health—a journey marked by challenges and triumphs. Today, I'm excited to explore Angel’s story in-depth, offering insights into the realities of navigating weight management and metabolic health. Join our candid conversation, where we discuss Angel’s battles with obesity and fertility, and shed light on the importance of consistency, accountability, and tuning into your own body's cues.
