In Chrysalis - Invidious

Social scientist + lived experience advocate 💬

Welcome to In Chrysalis! I'm Dr. Becky Roberts. I'm a professor of Communication and my doctorate is in Education.

I’m a Gen X farm girl turned social scientist, and world traveler sharing what meaningful living looks like in middle age while navigating type 2 diabetes, obesity, menopause, and metabolic health.

After gastric bypass surgery and with the help of Mounjaro, I’ve maintained a 125-pound weight loss while building a healthier, more balanced life. On this channel, I talk honestly about metabolic disease, healthy habits, weight maintenance, menopause, HRT, mindset, and aging well.

I’m also a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and pet mom who believes health is about more than the number on a scale. If you’re looking for evidence-based conversations, real-life experiences, and encouragement, you’re in the right place.

Subscribe for practical insights, honest discussions, and inspiration for living well in midlife.

I'm boarding my early morning flight to Orlando for the Your Weight Matters conference. I'm going to meet some amazing medical professionals, creators, and patients who understand this incredibly complex condition. 🩷✈️🌞

I've had a busy couple of weeks! My dad entered into hospice care, and my niece had a major medical event. Both situations are well managed now, and I'll be posting new videos starting this weekend. I hope all of you are well! 🩷 ~Becky

I recently recorded an interview the Christopher and Loraine from The Downsized. It was a great experience! They focus on GLP1 medications and the fight against obesity. If those are of interest to you, I encourage you to subscribe to their channel.

Here's the link to my interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPKqy...
