Transformation Weight Control Podcast
Welcome to the weekly Transformation Weight Control Podcast!
We’ve been helping people lose weight for over 25 years. Before that, in the 44th year of my career, I’ve been deeply involved in creating and directing leading evidence-based, medically supervised weight loss programs and research at hospitals and clinics in New York City.
Our mission—with both TWC and this podcast—is to deliver the most up-to-date, trustworthy, and relevant information available. We all know that health and weight loss information online can be overwhelming and often unreliable. That won’t be the case here.
Together with my co-host Alex Tushinsky, we’ll speak with true experts in their fields. Our goal is to bring you accurate, evidence-based conversations you can trust—and that will help you make informed decisions for losing weight, keeping it off, and your health, just like what we’ve always done at TWC.
We’re excited to share this journey with you and are committed to bringing you nothing but the truth about what really works. If there’s a topic you’d like us to explore, let us know—we’re here for you.
We look forward to bringing these podcasts to you!

Chatting with Marion Nestle, Ph.D., About Food Politics and What to Eat
In this conversation, Rich and Alex interview Dr. Marion Nestle, the country's leading expert in food politics and nutrition. They discuss the complexities of the food industry, the impact of ultra-processed foods on health, and the importance of understanding caloric intake for weight management.
Dr. Nestle emphasizes the need for critical thinking in the face of misinformation, the role of marketing in shaping food choices, and the challenges posed by government policies on public health.
The discussion also touches on the future of dietary guidelines and the importance of advocacy at the local level.
