Ever wonder why the scale won’t budge no matter how many diets you try or calories you count? You’re not the only one stuck in that grind. In this episode of Hacked To Health, Joe sits down with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb, a triple board-certified physician who’s tossing out the weight loss rulebook. Forget quick fixes or endless expert teams—Dr. Garcia-Webb blends medical know-how with life-coaching grit to help you take charge, minus the chaos.
She breaks it down: traditional weight loss tricks often flop because they miss the real stuff—like how your mindset shapes your choices, or why consistency beats complexity every time. It’s not about perfection; it’s about owning it. Dr. Garcia-Webb digs into managing weight like a chronic condition (no shame, just facts) and shows how to ditch the diet drama for a simpler, smarter path. Tired of the yo-yo trap? This one’s for you—real talk, no fluff, and a way to run your health like a pro, on your own terms.
Tune in and see how to step off the weight loss rollercoaster for good!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
