EP040 A Surgeon’s Guide to Sustainable Weight Loss & Diabetes Management with Dr. Pavi Kundhal, MD

Are you relying on medications or surgery as a magic bullet for weight loss, only to find yourself stuck?
In this episode of The Diabetes Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Pavi Kundhal, a bariatric surgeon, obesity medicine specialist, and author of Shift Your Mind to Shift Your Weight. We explore why true, sustainable weight loss and diabetes management require more than just GLP-1s or gastric sleeves—they demand a fundamental shift in your mindset. Dr. Kundhal breaks down modern "weight gain enablers," the psychology of eating, and how to build resilient habits that outlast any plateau.
