When Kayla joined GBMC’s Comprehensive Obesity Management Program (COMP) in October 2024, she had a powerful goal in mind: to get her PCOS under control so she could start a family. Less than a year later, she’s 120 pounds down from her highest weight—and feeling stronger and more hopeful than ever.

“GBMC COMP has been absolutely incredible,” Kayla says. “I’m absolutely amazed at the progress I’ve made so far.”

For Kayla, the journey hasn’t just been about weight loss. It’s been about transforming her relationship with food, her energy, and her health.

“The food noise is gone,” she explains. “I eat to fuel my body, not for comfort. I can move so much easier, I have more energy, and my other chronic conditions are much easier to manage.”

Today, Kayla is living with more confidence and clarity—and is one step closer to her dream of becoming a parent. Her story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible with the right care, team, and mindset.
