In this episode, we’re joined by the one and only Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, board-certified obesity specialist, founder of Vineyard Health, and the internet’s favorite “doc who lifts.”
We dive into everything you actually want to know about weight loss, body chemistry, and why food feels so complicated.
We’re talking:
- Is obesity genetic… or bad habits?
- What is food noise and why won’t it shut up?
- The science behind why ultra-processed foods feel impossible to stop eating
- How weight loss meds (like GLP-1s) really work, and who they’re for (this might surprise you)
- Emotional eating, dopamine, and why you’re not just “lazy” or “undisciplined”
- Plus: are artificial sweeteners and dyes really the villain?
- and so much more
This convo is science-packed, myth-busting, and refreshingly honest.
If you’ve ever felt like your body is fighting you, this one’s a must-listen.
