Ever wonder why losing weight can suddenly feel impossible in your 40s or 50s, even when nothing about your diet or workout routine has changed?

That's exactly the question this week's episode sets out to answer, with guest Dr. Angela Glasnapp joining the conversation. Dr. Glasnapp is a board-certified bariatric surgeon, obesity medicine specialist, and menopause practitioner with New York Bariatric Group, and for more than 16 years, she's helped patients improve their health through evidence-based treatment for obesity and metabolic disease, blending surgical, medical, and lifestyle approaches into one comprehensive strategy. As her practice evolved, she noticed a significant gap in care for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, which led her to bring that expertise into her practice too.

In this episode, we cover:

The First Step to the Right Treatment Is Just Getting the Full Picture
Bariatric Surgery Eligibility, Explained
Can Bariatric Surgery and Weight Loss Medications Be Used Together?
Understanding the Weight Set Point Theory
Why Dr. Glasnapp Expanded Her Practice to Menopause Care
How Hormone Therapy and GLP-1 Medications May Work Together
A Comprehensive Approach to Women's Health

Dr. Glasnapp breaks down everything from choosing the right treatment path to the science behind weight regulation, and why menopause deserves a much bigger seat at the table in obesity medicine.

This episode is packed with the kind of info that could totally change how you think about weight, hormones, and what "stuck" really means. Tap play and let it all sink in, one lightbulb moment at a time.
