Common qualifications include a BMI of 40 or higher, or lower BMIs with conditions like hypertension or diabetes. These surgeries aim to address obesity and related health complications when traditional methods, like diet and exercise, fail.Dr. Bikman describes four primary types of metabolic surgeries: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and adjustable gastric banding. He explains their procedures, including how they alter digestion, absorption, and stomach size, leading to weight loss through restriction and malabsorption. These surgeries also bring significant hormonal changes, such as increases in GLP-1 and reductions in ghrelin (hunger hormone), contributing to satiety and metabolic improvements.While these surgeries can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity, reduce glucagon levels, and improve conditions like type 2 diabetes, they come with risks. Nutrient deficiencies, surgical complications, dumping syndrome, and weight regain are significant concerns. Younger patients are particularly prone to weight regain, especially if they don't adopt sustainable eating habits. Dr. Bikman emphasizes the need for education on managing macronutrients and maintaining long-term behavioral changes.Ben concludes that metabolic surgeries can be a valuable tool for those with severe obesity and related complications. However, he warns of their limitations and advocates for coupling them with lifestyle changes to optimize long-term success.Show Notes/References:For complete show notes and references referred to in this episode, we invite you to become a Ben Bikman Insider subscriber.

Show Notes: Season 3, Episode 1 – Reverse the Rebound Weight Gain Title: Healing Your Relationship with Food - Post-Bariatric Weight Regain & GLP-1 Medications. Welcome back to Reverse the Rebound Weight Gain! Season 3 is here, and I'm thrilled to dive into some exciting new themes, personal updates, and practical tips to help you on your journey to food freedom and lasting health. Episode Highlights: Life Update: My son Harvey just finished Year 3, and my youngest graduated from Kindy. It's been a juggling act managing work, my two boys, and my little one's special needs, which include weekly speech and OT sessions. Big news: We're moving to Tasmania! My husband's family is there, and we're seeking a simpler, more peaceful life, especially as my youngest starts school next year. This move feels like a gift for our nervous systems—a chance to truly settle and find peace. My recent 3 Capes walk in Tassie was an incredible reset, and I'm eager to bring that sense of calm into our new life and work. Evolving Work: My practice has grown to focus on the intersection of food cravings, nervous system regulation, and trauma. It's a transformative area that's delivering incredible results for my clients. Case studies from my 3-month intensive program show: 60–90% more natural control over cravings. Significant improvements in mental health. Weight loss (2–12 kg) as a byproduct of healing—not deprivation. What to Expect in Season 3: Deep dives into the nervous system and its role in food cravings. Understanding how trauma and disordered eating patterns shape your relationship with food. Exploring solutions beyond external tools like surgery, weight loss medications, or dieting. Free Resources: Grab my new Ebook on food cravings and emotional eating—it's packed with insights and practical tools. [Link in show notes!] Check out my case study training to learn more about the results my clients are achieving. Key Takeaways from the Episode: Disordered Eating is a Mental Health Issue: It's not about willpower; it's about subconscious patterns rooted in safety and survival. Surgery and medications can be great tools, but they don't heal the deeper issues. Dieting Doesn't Work Long-Term: Dieting often leads to more weight gain over time. Instead, focus on rewiring your brain for natural control around food. Morning Matters: A structured, high-protein breakfast sets the tone for your day. Consistency between weekdays and weekends can make a huge difference in avoiding all-or-nothing thinking. Your Eating Patterns Are Tied to Childhood: Even if your childhood was great or you didn't struggle with weight then, unresolved trauma or emotional triggers can drive mindless eating patterns today. Practical Tip of the Episode: Start your day with a high-protein, balanced breakfast. It stabilizes blood sugar, reduces cravings, and sets you up for success throughout the day.

Welcome to episode 58 of the Pound of Cure Weight Loss Podcast, where Dr. Matthew Weiner and Zoe Schroeder dive into cutting-edge obesity treatments like GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Mounjaro) and their role alongside bariatric surgery and nutrition. This episode delivers insights into new research, nutrition strategies, and the future of affordable Semaglutide production.GLP-1 Medications vs. Bariatric Surgery: A Data-Driven ComparisonA recent study presented at the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery examined 40,000 participants' weight loss outcomes across three approaches: lifestyle changes, GLP-1 medications, and bariatric surgery.Lifestyle changes led to 7% weight loss but most of the weight returned within four years.GLP-1 medications like Wegovy achieved 15-22% weight loss, though over 50% was regained upon stopping treatment.Bariatric surgery offered the most durable results, with gastric bypass patients maintaining 25% total weight loss after 10 years.Dr. Weiner emphasized that combining these tools often yields the best results, rather than choosing one in isolation. “When used strategically, they complement each other to lower your metabolic setpoint effectively,” he explained.Addition vs. Restriction: A New Approach to DietingMost diets focus on restriction, which fails over time. Instead, Zoe advocates for an addition mindset, emphasizing nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.“When you focus on what you can add rather than what you must cut out, it naturally crowds out less healthy choices and fosters a sustainable, positive mindset,” she explained.Semaglutide's Global Impact and the Rise of GenericsDr. Weiner highlighted a groundbreaking development in the global production of Semaglutide. Due to a favorable ruling in India, generic versions could be available by 2026, potentially lowering costs significantly.“This could be a game-changer for millions who currently can't access Semaglutide,” Dr. Weiner noted, though challenges like cold-chain transport and international legality remain.Nutrition Strategies for GLP-1 SuccessFor those using GLP-1 medications, Zoe shares essential dietary tips to optimize results and minimize side effects:Prioritize vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, nuts, seeds, and legumes.Avoid greasy and processed foods that can worsen nausea or digestive issues.“This unprocessed, nutrient-dense diet mirrors the advice we give post-bariatric surgery patients,” Dr. Weiner added.Key Takeaways1.      GLP-1 Medications: Transformative but most effective when paired with proper nutrition and, in some cases, surgery.2.      Restriction Diets Are Outdated: Adopt an addition mindset to foster long-term, sustainable success.3.      Bariatric Surgery's Durability: Surgery offers unmatched long-term weight loss results, especially when integrated with other tools.4.      Affordable Semaglutide Is Coming: Generic production in India could reshape global access by 2026.Final ThoughtsEpisode 58 reveals the synergistic power of combining GLP-1 medications, bariatric surgery, and the right nutrition strategies. If you're ready to take control of your metabolic setpoint, this episode provides the tools and insights you need.
