When people think of inflammation, they immediately picture a swollen ankle or a cut. Something you can see and feel.

Chronic inflammation is different. It's the kind that quietly sits there, invisible, causing havoc in your body you don’t notice… at least, not right away.

The effects are gradual and it's messing with your weight loss progress more than you probably realize. Studies have shown that chronic inflammation doesn't just show up because of metabolic issues, it actively causes them. Most people never deal with it because they don't even know it's there.

Intermittent fasting isn’t just about skipping meals.
When you go extended periods without eating, your body starts making real hormonal shifts. Those shifts can improve insulin sensitivity, lower ghrelin levels, and better regulate blood sugar. Similar to the effects of  bariatric surgery and GLP-1s.

That doesn’t make it a replacement. But it does make it a seriously underrated tool. Stick around for part 2, where I discuss if intermittent fasting is a good idea after weight loss surgery.

Bariatric surgery can give you a powerful head start by interrupting the body’s natural defenses against losing weight.

Think of it as the beginning of a lifelong journey in self-care. With the right support along the way, results can last a lifetime.

Are you suffering from chronic back pain and considering back surgery? If you qualify you may want to consider weight loss surgery first.

Excess weight puts additional strain on the spine and joints. For some patients, losing that weight can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility. We find that in many cases, as weight comes down after weight loss surgery, the need for back surgery goes away, too.

After bariatric bypass surgery, your body doesn’t absorb things quite like it used to and that includes medications like oral birth control.

For female patients, that means the pill may not be as reliable as it was before, so it’s important to talk with your care team about other contraception options to help prevent an unintended pregnancy right after surgery. The implications for unexpected pregnancy up to 18 months post-surgery can be dire, for both mom and baby.

Nobody expects this after bariatric surgery: Your taste buds may change.

Foods patients once loved may taste different or no longer appeal to them the same way. Just know it’s a normal part of the process. These shifts are often linked to changes in hormones, digestion, and how your brain responds to food, not anything you are doing wrong!

It might be the perfect excuse to try foods you didn’t enjoy before.

Eggs often get a bad rap for raising cholesterol levels but the story is more nuanced than that. 🥚

Eggs are nutrient-dense and relatively low in saturated fat – they're actually good for you when eaten in moderation. What has a much greater impact on LDL (aka “bad” cholesterol) is overall diet, especially when it comes to saturated and trans fats found in fast food, commercial baked goods, high-fat dairy, and other foods with hydrogenated oils.

Try incorporating unsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocados, and nuts, which can help improve cholesterol levels.
