On this episode of Healthy MENtality, we sit down with Gary to talk about his incredible transformation — losing 137 pounds on Zepbound, going from 317 lbs to 180 lbs, and maintaining that loss for over a year.
But this journey wasn’t just about weight.
In May 2025, Gary was diagnosed with renal carcinoma and underwent kidney surgery, including removal of a cancerous cyst and a partial nephrectomy. He also lives with chronic kidney disease and hypothyroidism, both of which played a role in his overall health journey.
We discuss:
His Zepbound titration schedule and current maintenance dose
Diet changes and protein strategy
Strength training and workout routine
Maintaining weight loss long-term
Chronic kidney disease and recovery post-surgery
Hypothyroidism and metabolic health
Gary’s story is about more than weight loss — it’s about early detection, taking control of your health, and breaking generational patterns of men ignoring warning signs.
If you’re considering a GLP-1 like Zepbound, navigating maintenance, or simply need motivation to take your health seriously — this episode is for you.
Iron sharpens iron.
🎙️ Hosted by RMZ — real men, real health, real talk.
