A Pound of Cure
A bariatric surgeon and a registered dietitian explain the science of modern weight loss, from GLP-1s and microdosing to surgery and brain chemistry.
This is a clinical, yet accessible, discussion from the front lines of obesity medicine. Dr. Weiner, a surgeon, and Schroeder, a dietitian, blend their perspectives to cover the full spectrum of treatment, from GLP-1 medications and bariatric surgery to the crucial roles of nutrition and brain science. They are practitioners actively navigating the field's rapid changes, sharing direct insights from medical conferences and their own patient experiences.
“The show's key distinction is its dual-host format, combining a surgeon's perspective on procedural and pharmacological interventions with a dietitian's focus on nutrition and lifestyle. It is grounded in the hosts' active clinical practice, offering real-time reactions to industry shifts, like the impact of GLP-1s on surgical volumes discussed after the 2026 ASMBS conference.”
