What happens when surgery or GLP-1 medications work, then stop working?   
 

This week, Kim welcomes Dr. Pavi Kundhal, a general surgeon and diplomat of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, who spent 16 of his 17 years in practice watching a devastating pattern. After performing high-volume bariatric surgeries, Dr. Kundhal noticed the patients with lasting success weren't the ones who followed the strictest diets; they were the ones who did "the deep work" to change their relationship with eating.  

In this transformative episode, Dr. Kundhal reveals:

• ​🔴 Devastating pattern: Patients losing 50-60 pounds, then gaining more than half back with no strategy 
• ​🟢 Physical vs emotional: Hunger builds slowly over 4-6 hours; emotional craving hits rapidly with comfort food and guilt  
• ​🟣 Environment beats willpower: Clear counters, pre-cut vegetables at eye level, remove TV distraction while eating
