Weight management is far more complex than "calories in, calories out." In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ashley White to explore the science behind appetite regulation, the genetic and environmental factors influencing weight, and the role of medication in obesity treatment. Dr. White shares her personal journey with weight struggles, how medical weight management transformed her approach, and why weight loss isn’t just about willpower. We also discuss the emotional side of eating, how food marketing affects our choices, and the latest advancements in weight loss medications.

In this episode of  “The Real Integrative Medicine Podcast,” I explore the link between diet and skin health—separating myths from science. While trendy diets claim to clear up acne and rosacea, the truth is more complex. I break down the latest research, discuss why eliminating certain foods may or may not help, and explain the role of genetics in skin conditions. Plus, I share insights on the Mediterranean diet and why it's one of the few dietary patterns actually associated with better skin health. Tune in to learn how to take a science-backed approach to managing your skin.
