In this episode, Obesity, Lifestyle, and Pediatric Specialist Dr. Randolph Nunez joins Cardiologist and Clinical Researcher Dr. Michael Koren as they discuss the approaches to managing obesity, particularly in children and adolescents. Dr. Nunez talks about Keystone Habits like sleep, and how tackling those habits are the key to sustained weight loss. The doctors discuss the psychological, physical, and biologic processes that can have an effect on weight and the difficulty of willpower. They also talk about new medications, GLP-1 inhibitors, surgical options, and how these ideas intersect with childhood obesity. They finish by talking about the personalized nature of effective weight management strategies.

Koren's Key Takeaways:

• Willpower varies from person-to-person, day-to-day, and activity-to-activity
• An obesity specialist can help fight "food noise," the amount of time a person thinks about eating
• A key to weight loss is finding out if there are underlying reasons why a person gained weight
