In this episode, I sit down with Camden Anderson to break down one of the biggest misconceptions in bariatric weight loss: it’s not just about eating less and moving more. Camden and I get real about the mindset work that separates short-term weight loss from lasting transformation — and why most patients skip it.

We dive into Camden’s own fitness journey, the challenges clients face when the scale slows down, and why individualized coaching matters so much. We also talk about the unsexy side of fat loss (the daily habits no one wants to post on Instagram), the transition from weight loss to maintenance, and how self-love fits into the process.

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re not seeing the results you want — or how to keep them once you get there — this episode will show you exactly where to focus. Because the truth is, nobody burns fat by accident.
