Has your New Year's Resolution gone stale? Did you set yourself up for success on January 1st or did you set a goal without any guidance?

On this episode, the DoctorXDietitian Duo is here to help you revitalize and reconsider the New Year's resolution. They will teach you all about SMART goals that can be used in any area of your life, ways to stick to your plan, and what to do if you get off track. Dr. Dovec talks about how she feels about resolutions- spoiler alert: she's a fan- and how this year has felt different. Hannah discusses her struggles with sticking to a plan and ways she has found to overcome that struggle. So whether your goal is weight loss, more exercise, dealing with challenges in your bariatric surgery journey, or something completely unrelated (growing your podcast, perhaps!), the team is here to support and guide you through it!

So, what is the deal with carbs? Good, bad, overhyped?

This DoctorXDietitian episode breaks down carbohydrates in the diet - the different types, how much you need, and the best ways to incorporate them into a balanced diet

Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three main nutrients (macronutrients or “macros”) found in foods and drinks.

The DoctorXDietitian duo will round out their macronutrient conversation with the oh-so-confusing and sometimes scary carbs. However, it is important to learn how to embrace carbs in the diet, regardless of where you are in your bariatric and weight loss journey.

Carbohydrates, aka carbs, are the body's preferred source of fuel. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your cells, tissues, and organs. Not having enough carbs in your diet can make you feel sluggish, experience digestive issues and even have bad breath. Fun times! ;)

Don’t miss this fun and informative episode!

It's the show about nothing!

After 4 weeks of information-packed conversations about anti-obesity medications, the DoctorXDietitian duo thought it was time for an episode where they chat, swap stories, and just have a good time. Never fear, they will be back with more bariatric surgery and weight loss content!

You'll finally learn what Dr. Dovec is bad at and how a good parking job can change the course of your life.

Hannah shares about her good luck with radio contests and how she is never not multitasking.

MEGATREND ALERT!

What's all the latest hype about? Injectable weight loss medications have rocketed to stardom as they transform the obesity treatment landscape. These meds are gaining popularity, but are they right- and most importantly safe- for you?

Your favorite doctor and dietitian breakdown the latest R&D, dosing, mechanism, and side effects of GLP-1 agonist medications, such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, in their usual fun and informative style.

This new year, let's set our intentions high when it comes to overall health and wellness. Know your options and advocate for yourself. Get the facts. We can help!

Diet Pills! Weight Loss Drugs! Appetite Suppressants! OH MY!!

No matter what you call them, by mouth formulations of Anti-Obesity Medications (AOMs) can be helpful in your journey towards better health, even if you have already had bariatric surgery.

But, jeez, there is so much variable information out there it can be overwhelming to know what is fact or myth. In part 2 of their 4-part medical weight loss series, the DoctorXDietitian collab extensively describe and simplify your options on the podcast.

WHO should take pills?

WHAT options exist?

WHERE can you get medication?

WHY take AOMs?

HOW do you dose?

Relax, your favorite doctor dietitian duo cover it all! Let's get nerdy!

In part 1 of 4 of our new podcast series, the Doctor and Dietitian go deep into the basics of medical weight loss! You have questions, we have answers. Like, where to begin?

You may have struggled with your weight for a long time. Maybe, you just started struggling. Some people experience tremendous success and then get stuck despite tremendous efforts to lose weight. The frustration is real. But, good news - so is the success with weight loss medication.

We discuss how you can get plugged in to see a clinician who can properly evaluate, diagnose, and treat eligible patients with the best anti-obesity medications (AOMs).

During a thorough work-up, we'll review multiple classes of drugs and explain medications that are either weight neutral, cause you to lose (win-win!) or gain weight (boo!).

Dr. Dovec is a Diplomate with the Board of Obesity Medicine and geeks out on our poor dietitian with her explanation of pharmacology.

Friends! Your knowledge as you know it is about to get rocked. This breakdown on weight loss medications is just in time for the new year, so you won't want to miss it.

Let’s talk about sex, baby! Let’s talk about you and…weight loss, bariatric surgery, dating, marriage, divorce, confidence, and so much more. 

The Doctor and Dietitian collab discuss a healthy approach to sex and how WLS can impact so many aspects of relationships and intimacy. 

How does your changing physique and body image affect sexuality, pleasure, feelings, attraction and mood? The team takes a deep dive into a very personal topic in hopes it starts an open conversation. 

Feeling squirmy?! No worries! Just keep calm and get your freak on. 

The dynamic doctor dietitian duo discuss all things women, weight loss, & work. They dive into perceptions at work, emotional labor, lifestyle management, and so much more. Is your day to day life holding you back from taking the leap to get bariatric surgery? Do you have a support system in your life to uphold you through the healing process? The pair will remind you to put on your own oxygen mask first so you can be the best person for yourself and your family. Partners- listen up, this one is for you too!
