MD For Moms Radio, Every Wednesday 1pm (ET) on The BBM Global Network, TuneIn and iHeartRadio or as a podcast on iTunes.
Special time: Friday, June 29th at 3pm ET (live)
This week on MD for Moms, I’ll be interviewing Dr’s Shamaila Siddiqi, an internist who specializes in optimizing health and reducing obesity at The Healing Med in NYC and Dr. Corrigan McBride, a bariatric surgeon at the University of Nebraska. Our show will focus on ways to diet in a healthy way and various approaches to obesity. We will explore the benefits of intermittent fasting, different diets and which is best for you, and when to consider bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass is the most extensive form of bariatric surgery, but did you know there are other choices, such as gastric bands and sleeves, among others? We will review the many choices available for people who are overweight or obese and how to approach weight loss in a safe and healthy way.
