Episode 2860:

A listener asks whether supplements can help with fat loss or bloating, and Dr. Neal Malik breaks down the science behind popular weight-loss supplements like green tea extract, capsaicin, and ketones revealing why they often don’t work as advertised. He also shares practical, research-backed strategies for sustainable fat loss and managing bloating, including diet, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments.

Quotes to ponder:

"There is no safe supplement that I know of that will directly reduce body fat."

"The real secret is combining aerobic activity like walking, jogging, swimming, or bicycling with resistance training."

"Adequate sleep helps control hunger hormones, and managing stress prevents cortisol from increasing appetite and fat storage."
