Welcome to the BariConnected Podcast, sponsored by ProCare Health! In this episode, we dive into the science of your metabolic thermostat and its role in long-term weight loss after bariatric surgery.

  1. What is the Metabolic Thermostat?

    • Learn how your body regulates weight through a set point influenced by genetics, environment, and hormones.
  2. How Bariatric Surgery Resets the Thermostat:

    • Understand how hormonal changes (ghrelin, GLP-1, leptin) affect weight loss and why surgery is more effective than calorie restriction alone.
  3. The Role of Nutrition in Sustaining a Lower Set Point:

    • Explore the Pound of Cure approach with lean proteins, veggies, and plant-based foods while avoiding processed grains, sugars, and excess fats.
  4. Combining Tools for Success:

    • Discover the synergy between GLP-1 medications (e.g., Wegovy, Zepbound) and surgical results, plus tips for lifestyle changes like movement, sleep, and stress management.

After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness.
