✨ Can $5 Really Make a Difference? Absolutely.

Hi Reader,

Today is Giving Tuesday, we want to share something important, something simple, something powerful:

$5 really can make a difference.

When you think about everything BariNation produces—podcasts, classes, expert interviews, education on social platforms, expert-led support groups, resources—it might feel like a small contribution couldn’t possibly move the needle.

But it does. It always does.

Here’s how your $5 High Five creates real, measurable impact:

✨ $5 helps keep our award-winning podcast free

Every episode takes planning, equipment, editing, and promotion. Your $5 helps us keep sharing real stories, expert insight, and hope-filled conversations with the bariatric world, at no cost to people and patients everywhere.

When people struggling with excess weight hear and see ***real patient stories***, they are inspired to learn more about what treatment options are out there for them.

✨ $5 helps bring new experts and patients onto the show

BariNation is known for amplifying voices: patients, surgeons, psychologists, dietitians, and researchers. Your support helps us bring more lived experience and more science-backed knowledge to the greater bariatric community.

Partnerships help us share expert education on platforms where people and patients are.

✨ $5 supports the technology that keeps BariNation running

All the behind-the-scenes tools that make the magic happen—podcast recording, membership platforms, class hosting, editing software, and more—are made possible by your support.
