Today, I’m joined by Eliza Kingsford, a clinical psychologist and expert in the psychology of weight loss, who brings a refreshingly honest—and much needed—perspective to the conversation around GLP-1 peptides, weight regulation, and nervous system health. Eliza shares how her two decades of experience revealed a missing piece in lasting weight loss: understanding and addressing the role of our nervous system beneath the surface of every behavior, craving, and “failed” attempt.

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.
