Your lived experience is real. You lost weight, your health improved, and I'm not calling you a liar. But I'm still going to tell you that weight loss didn't cause it. In this episode, I get into the post-hoc fallacy, the neuroscience of the placebo effect, and why weight loss is the perfect storm for a powerful — but ultimately unsustainable — placebo response. The benefits are slim to nil. The risks are well documented. And there are always other options.
