Love the podcast but hate taking notes? The Diabetes Podcast Blog compresses every episode into a bulleted, 10 minute read AND has the podcast embedded so you can listen as you read along! Check it out at https://empowereddiabetes.com/diabetes-podcast-blogIn this episode, we dig into the weight loss mindset with Dr. Pavi Kundhal, author of “Shift Your Mind to Shift Your Weight.” We talk about bariatric surgery and GLP‑1s as tools—not magic—and why habits, mindfulness, and environment design drive long-term results. Learn simple steps: protein first, veggies next, carbs last; cut liquid calories; start with 5–10 minute walks; and collect small, daily wins. We cover weight gain enablers (delivery apps, screens, ultra‑processed foods), how to handle plateaus, and building trust with your care team. We also share non‑scale victories and a 7‑day starter plan. If you’ve ever said “I know what to do, I just can’t do it,” this talk gives you clear, simple actions to get unstuck and support type 2 or prediabetes goals.Website: https://www.peelweightlossclinic.comBook: Amazon      Barnes and NobleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/peelweightlossclinic/  Disclaimer:The information in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
