Show Notes
Brian Baumal lost 100 pounds, and more importantly, he’s kept it off for over 14 years.
But what he really understands is this: it’s not a lack of knowledge that keeps people stuck, it’s the psychology. The urgency that drives all-or-nothing thinking.
Brian works as a Toronto-based psychotherapist and is the guest on today’s episode of THE OBESITY DOCTOR PODCAST. We break down why urgency isn’t discipline, and what actually works if you want change to last.

What happens after you’ve lost the weight you wanted to lose?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tasneem Sajwani, Medical Director of the Edmonton Weight Management Centre, for a behind-the-scenes look at the world of obesity medicine. We discuss how she found her passion for this field, the challenges and rewards of building a successful obesity medicine clinic, and the key elements that drive long-term patient success.
Significant weight loss can be life-changing for your health—but it can also lead to changes in facial volume, skin laxity, and the way we see ourselves in the mirror.
