Todays interview is with the co-founder of Contour Health, Melissa Musso, where we’re talking mostly about my experience with weight loss and GLP-1 medication, some of the shame and misconceptions and breakthroughs I personally had as I explored this as an option for my health. I decided to do this interview because honestly I get so many DMs about this that I knew it would be easier to tell the whole story, with Melissa, on a podcast where people could hear and really see how amazing she is! We tell the story of how Melissa helped me, even before I officially started going to her as my medical provider. If you listen to this and want to work with Melissa, you can go to contourhealthrx.com. She has assembled a team of like minded providers who are all providing the highest quality patient care. You can definitely book with Melissa but sometimes she’s booked out for weeks, so if you don’t want to wait, the other nurse practitioners in her company are excellent and will give you that same level of amazing care. And exclusively for mint arrow messages listeners, if you mention that you found contour health from mint arrow, you’ll get 10% off your first month.
