#413: Dr. David Prologo on Why Mind Over Matter is Bulls*** For Weight Loss, Why You Can't Stick To Your Food Plan and The Importance Of Dietary Adherence!

Dr. Prologo is a graduate of The Ohio State University School of Medicine.

He has spent the majority of his career researching new solutions for pain and weight loss.

He is most well-known for pioneering a procedure to block hunger, allowing people to reach a critical point beyond which dieting was no longer a struggle – work that allowed him to define the critically acclaimed "Catching Point" beyond which diet and exercise are easier for those trying to lose weight.

The Catching Point itself, and the strategy to get there are outlined in his book: The Catching Point Transformation.

In today's podcast, we unpack all things weight loss and dietary adherence. This is a nice back and forth conversation as opposed to a straight up interview so hopefully you enjoy it.
