Exercise is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health. It is not, however, a reliable tool for losing weight on its own — and understanding why changes everything. In this episode, Dr. Raina Patel explains the science behind why exercise produces less weight loss than expected, what it is genuinely extraordinary for, and how to use it in a way that actually sticks.

In this episode, Dr. Raina Patel explains the biology of weight regain in plain language — your hunger hormone gets louder after weight loss and stays that way for over a year, your fullness signals all drop at the same time, and your metabolism slows more than it should even years later. This is not about willpower. It's about biology.

Plus five specific things you can do right now that work with your body instead of against it.
