182. Dismantling Diet Culture with Psychotherapist Brian Baumal

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.
