Join us for a conversation with Dr. David Prologo, a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. He shares the science behind why we tend to fail at diets and the importance of finding your "catching point" to achieve successful weight loss. His new book, The Catching Point Transformation: A 12-Week Weight Loss Strategy Based in Reality, comes from more than 2 decades of work in obesity medicine. Plus, his analogies make a complex health topic fun and easy to understand!Dr. David Prologo is a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. He has spent more than 20 years specifically analyzing the phenomenon of diet attrition - why do diets always fail? More importantly, when they do fail, why do we blame the patients for that failure? That journey led Dr. Prologo to perform first in human advanced interventional procedures to manage obesity, diabetes, and other medical conditions. It further led to the identification of the catching point - a clear pivot point beyond which calorie restriction and exercise are easier for patients. He has been recognized nationally and internationally for his work, including features on The Today Show, in the Washington Post, on Capitol Hill, in numerous peer-reviewed journal publications, countless web-based invited expert articles, and much more. SHOW NOTES:0:51 Welcome to the show!4:40 Dr. Prologo’s Bio5:35 Welcome him to the podcast6:27 Why are people unsuccessful with weight loss?11:57 *Felix Gray ad*15:40 Is weight loss a mental game?17:36 Shutting off hunger signals18:43 Renee’s personal experience19:25 Measuring Ghrelin levels20:22 Prejudice in overcoming health challenges24:10 *Do Not Age ad*26:28 Weight loss procedures 29:02 Treating phantom limb pain30:34 How much is the nervous system involved?33:24 *Magnesium Breakthrough ad*35:44 Thoughts on the HCG Diet42:19 The similarities between pain and weight struggles43:44 Addressing Mental Health47:33 *Silverbiotics ad*50:42 What are the solutions for long-term success?53:03 Changing exercise capacity1:00:14 “Move more, eat right”1:01:50 How do we break the vicious negative cycle?1:04:38 The “random day of awesomeness”1:08:54 His final piece of advice1:11:45 Where to find Dr. Prologo1:12:15 Thank you for joining us!RESOURCES:Website: Dr. PrologoInstagramFacebookBook: The Catching Point TransformationTwitterLinkedIn______________Felix Gray Blue-Light GlassesDo Not Age Supplements - Discount code: BIOHACKERBABESSilverbiotics - Discount code: BIOHACKERBABESBiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough - Discount code: biohackerbabes10Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donations
