QUESTIONS I ASK DR. HIGH IN THE EPISODE:

Can you explain why obesity is a chronic medical condition (and not just a lack of self-control and willpower)?

When are weight loss medications the right intervention?

Should everyone with obesity try to lose weight, or can you be “healthy at every size”?

In one of your Instagram Reels, you say "the weight loss tool more effective than Berberine (aka 'nature's Ozempic') is cognitive behavioral skills + emotional eating work." What are some of the most effective cognitive behavioral skills someone can adopt for weight loss? What are strategies to try if you have emotional eating tendencies

Why is resilience important on a weight loss journey? How can someone build resilience?
