This week, I'm excited to welcome Dr David Prologo to the podcast. He is an obesity medicine physician who has spent a large part of his career researching new solutions for weight loss and is most well known for a pioneering procedure to block hunger. In this episode, we discussed the research, principles, and strategies outlined in his book, The Catching Point Transformation: A Twelve-Week Weight Loss Strategy Based in Reality.

Some questions asked during this episode:

• What strategies does an obesity medicine specialist use?
• What has your research uncovered as to why diets fail?
• Why are the ‘always lean population’, always lean?

Hello. Hi. I'm doing very well. Thank you for having me, Stuart.

And thank you so much for your time. I know you must be a busy man, and I've got a whole heap of questions that I'd love to dig in and ask you this morning. But before I do that, I would love it, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, if you could just tell us a little bit more about yourself, please.

Sure. I'm a dual board certified physician doctor. What that means is, I have a specialty in obesity medicine and I have a specialty in something else called interventional radiology. Basically, what that means is we use image guidance like CAT scans and MRIs and so on, to guide needles into the body. During our day job, we guide those needles in for things like treating cancer or managing trauma. In combination with the obesity medicine specialty, we've done some things like block the hunger nerve, for example, or block some other nerves that manage blood sugar and things like that.
