This Doctor Lost 150 LBS And Completely Changed How He Treats Obesity | Dr. Tro

Dr. Tro Kalayjian was a 350-pound physician who exercised, understood medicine, and had plenty of discipline—yet he still couldn't control his weight. After years of struggling, he went back to the medical literature looking for answers. What he discovered completely changed the way he thought about obesity, nutrition, food addiction and weight loss. Dr. Tro ultimately lost 150 pounds and went on to become board-certified in obesity medicine and one of the most outspoken voices in the low-carb and metabolic-health community. In this episode of The Low Carb Consultant Podcast, we go deep into why traditional weight-loss advice fails so many people, why obesity is far more complicated than “eat less and move more,” and why Dr. Tro believes our relationship with food may be one of the most overlooked pieces of the obesity epidemic. We also discuss low-carb diets, intermittent fasting, food addiction, insulin resistance, GLP-1 medications, muscle loss, resistance training, metabolic health, diabetes, cardiovascular risk, weight regain, fasting insulin, processed foods, and what actually separates people who lose weight and keep it off from those who continually start over. Dr. Tro also explains why he believes GLP-1 drugs can simultaneously be incredibly useful and potentially problematic when they're prescribed without addressing nutrition, resistance training and a patient's relationship with food.
