Terri Garcia Linares is a mortgage lender at Union Home Mortgage in Corvallis, a lifelong Oregon State superfan (with one conspicuous blind spot involving the OSU softball team), and someone who spent about 30 years fighting her relationship with food before something finally clicked. She came on the PTCH not as a credentialed expert but as the thing that's often harder to find: a real person who actually did it, over two years, without losing her mind or her sense of humor. The episode covered what worked, what was total nonsense, and why stretching does not count as cardio.
