Have you ever wondered how hormones affect your health and contribute to weight gain, obesity and a host of health conditions? Are you ready to break free from the isolation of obesity and tap into the power of community? Want to feel hopeful, inspired, and empowered on your bariatric journey? Today, we’re joined by Dr. Priya Jaisinghani, a triple-board-certified specialist in internal medicine, endocrinology, and obesity medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, trained at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell. Dr. Jaisinghani discusses obesity from a holistic perspective, exploring hormonal changes, weight management, and the importance of individualized lifestyle prescriptions to empower your health journey.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • (04:51) Dr. Jaisinghani explains her triple board certification in internal medicine, endocrinology, and obesity medicine
  • (12:30) Weight bias, seeking weight management and the importance of choosing providers with obesity medicine expertise
  • (24:29) Hormones and how other life changes are interrelated, impacting emotional, physical, and mental health
  • (30:39) Setting small, achievable lifestyle goals to aid in your bariatric journey
  • (43:15) The body is constantly aging and changing, impacting weight management strategies
  • (48:15) The basic tenets of health and advice that Dr. Jaisinghani gives patients in the BariNation Community

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Obesity often thrives in isolation and shame. Weight management support groups, such as the BariNation Community and shared experiences reduce stigma, foster empowerment, and make recovery more achievable through community.
  • Hormonal changes, such as menopause, can impact weight loss. Understanding these shifts as natural, rather than personal failure, allows for strategic and guided adjustments to support long-term health.
  • Broad advice can feel overwhelming, but small, personalized goals—like simple exercises or gradual changes—build confidence and create sustainable habits worth celebrating.
