Interesting Podcast on Weight Loss Surgery

[gina171 626]

Hi all, I recently came across the Weight Loss Surgery Podcast on iTunes, and I have found really interesting and informative.

It's done by a bariatric coordinator and nurse in Oregon, and she has over 70 podcasts up so far....most are over an hour long. She interviews doctors, researchers, bariatric bloggers, psychologists, exercise experts, and patients with a compelling story.

If you are an information junkie like me, or info you can listen to on the go, check it out.

I'll give you a link to this particular episode, which covered the topic of weight set point, the biology of weight, and why bariatric surgery works differently than any other solution. Hope you like it, there's tons to listen to in her archives:

I just finished listening to this podcast. I am going to have to listen to it again to make sure I understood it the way I thought I did.

One of the things that he touched on is one of the things I have learned over the past few years trying to deal with my weight. All calories are not the same. What we eat and how it affects our bodies varies.

This is one of the papers he refers to often during the talk. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4240228/

The set point and regain are really important to listen to and that is the part I want to listen to again and pay close attention to.

Thank you for sharing this.

Totally welcome, and I agree... There is so much in there that it is worth listening to more than once. I picked up a lot more the second time I listened to it.

I love this podcast and have been a regular listener since the beginning of the year. Reeger is wonderful and I'm so grateful to have all the info she shares. That podcast on set point and regain is saved on my computer because it's so good. The other good one I really recommend is this one on the biology of body weight http://www.weightlosssurgerypodcast.com/056-randy-seeley-phd-the-biology-of-body-weight/

Thanks for the fascinating link. I liked reegers story and voice.

I look forward to more bariatric podcasts when I have a bit more time.
