Dr. Betsy Dovec sat down for an awesome convo with the one and only Dr. Josh Roller of @rollerweightloss!

They talked about who we are, what drives them, and why they're both laser-focused on improving access to life-changing #bariatricsurgery.

They tackled the truth about weight loss meds, why they’re urging you to pause before choosing the #ESG, and medical tourism? If you can’t drink the water, maybe don’t have surgery there either.

They are proud of the communities they have built and the patients they serve, and they are not stopping here. They want to keep pushing boundaries and making this the BEST healthcare experience ever.

More to come. They're just getting started.

#BariatricSurgery rules!

Welcome back to The Weight Loss Collab! In today’s episode, “Mentality Mindset,” co-hosts Dr. Dovec and Hannah Schuyler are joined by special guest Chalmers McCahill, founder of The Mentality Makeover. Together, they dive deep into the powerful connection between mindset, stress, and relationships on the journey toward better health and weight loss.

Chalmers shares her unique perspective on why transforming our mental “interior design”—those outdated patterns and self-narratives—is just as important as physical health. She unpacks how our mental, spiritual, and physical well-being are all connected, and explains how awareness, vulnerability, and community are essential tools for lasting transformation.

From practical talk about coaching, the role of authenticity, and learning how to set boundaries, to insightful stories about overcoming perfectionism and embracing growth at any age, this conversation is packed with real, relatable advice. Whether you’re just starting your weight loss journey, feeling stuck, or wanting to deepen your understanding of yourself, this episode will inspire you to check your own “mental engine light” and take those next steps toward a truly healthy, happy life.

Tune in for tons of actionable insights—and a healthy dose of compassion—as we uncover the mindset shifts that lead not just to weight loss, but to a life of meaning and joy.
