Doctor Drop It with Dr Barbara Hessel
If you've been dieting for years, losing weight and gaining it all back, feeling frustrated that nothing sticks, and wondering if your body is just broken, I want you to know: it's not you.
Your hunger hormones have been reprogrammed by years of restrictive dieting, and until you address what's actually driving your hunger, the cycle won't stop. I'm here to help you break it for good.
Every week, I share science-backed, no-nonsense guidance on sustainable weight loss for women, especially if you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s.
No fads, no gimmicks, no shame. Just real medical expertise and strategies that work with your body instead of against it.
In this podcast, you'll learn:
👉 Why diets reprogram your hunger hormones to cause weight regain.
👉 The four hunger types (your Hunger Code) and why knowing yours is the key to lasting weight loss.
👉 The truth about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro, including side effects no one warns you about.
👉 How to lose fat without losing muscle, energy, or your sanity.
👉 Why you're always hungry on a diet and how to fix it naturally.
👉 How to stop yo-yo dieting once and for all with the Metabolic Momentum Method.
👉 The best way to lose weight during perimenopause and menopause.
👉 Why "eat less, exercise more" is terrible advice for most women.
I've helped thousands of women in my New York practice and online programs lose weight sustainably using the Metabolic Momentum Method, a doctor-designed, three-step framework (Master Macros, Happy Appetite, Metabolic Switch) that helps women lose up to 20 pounds in 12 weeks without starvation, excessive cardio, or muscle loss.
I also struggled with my own weight for decades before I cracked the code. I know what it's like to try everything and feel like nothing works.
That personal experience, combined with 25 years of medical practice, is why I approach weight loss differently than anyone else in this space.
