Questions that Dr. Connie and I discuss:

• What is imposter syndrome and then how is it specific to our bariatric listeners? 

• What type of things happen in life or what are the reasons that people experience imposter syndrome?

• I interviewed Wayne Davis in episode #113. Wayne is a member of my private Facebook group and he openly share his story with the scale, imposter syndrome and his victories after surgery. It’s a great episode: https://www.breakingdownnutrition.com/blog/113-beyond-the-scale-wayne-shares-his-victories-with-bariatric-surgery

• By the way, is imposter syndrome considered a mental health disorder? 

• So what I’m hearing you say is that imposter syndrome can affect anyone but it affects those who’ve had bariatric surgery in specific ways to their situation…much like nutrition.

• Are there mental health issues associated with imposter syndrome? 

• Let’s get to the nitty gritty of how can we deal with it? How can our listeners go about combatting imposter syndrome?
