Welcome to the BariConnected Podcast, sponsored by ProCare Health! In this episode, we dive into the science of your metabolic thermostat and its role in long-term weight loss after bariatric surgery.

About Zoe Schroeder, MS, RDN, CSCS: Zoe is the lead dietitian at the Pound of Cure Weight Loss Program, where she specializes in supporting bariatric patients and those using GLP-1 medications. With her expertise in nutrition, Zoe simplifies complex science into practical strategies for sustainable weight loss. She is passionate about helping individuals create healthier habits for long-term success.

🔍 Topics Covered:

1. What is the Metabolic Thermostat?

   • Learn how your body regulates weight through a set point influenced by genetics, environment, and hormones.

2. How Bariatric Surgery Resets the Thermostat:

   • Understand how hormonal changes (ghrelin, GLP-1, leptin) affect weight loss and why surgery is more effective than calorie restriction alone.

3. The Role of Nutrition in Sustaining a Lower Set Point:

   • Explore the Pound of Cure approach with lean proteins, veggies, and plant-based foods while avoiding processed grains, sugars, and excess fats.

4. Combining Tools for Success:

   • Discover the synergy between GLP-1 medications (e.g., Wegovy, Zepbound) and surgical results, plus tips for lifestyle changes like movement, sleep, and stress management.
