  • The Incredible Dr. Sasha High

    I have listened to many doctors on weight loss but not as insightful as Dr. Sasha High. I discovered her a year ago through a friend and started listening to her podcast and joined her Best Weight Program. It is not about dieting, it’s not about this program or that program, it’s about making choices for your health based on what you value, what commitments you are prepared to make towards your lifelong health.

    She is focused on educating you so you can make the best choices for yourself. Fr... more

  • Doctor recommended by this Endocrinologist

    I am an Endocrinologist practicing in the US and discovered this podcast when Dr. Sasha High first started it in 2021. I have since highly recommended it to numerous patients as an outstanding resource for my patients. She is an exceptionally knowledgeable obesity medicine physician and shares high yield and timely information. I cannot recommend her insightful podcast series enough and am grateful for the joy in medicine she finds with supporting all those on a journey to a healthier life.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

178. Using Visualization, Imagery, and Identity Work to Support Long-Term Health Motivation with Psychotherapist Margo Green
Q: How do you practically use scripting to help clients?
Clinicians guide clients to write or mentally rehearse scripts that depict themselves performing target behaviors (e.g., meal prep, walking) with sensory detail and positive emotion to cement new habits.
178. Using Visualization, Imagery, and Identity Work to Support Long-Term Health Motivation with Psychotherapist Margo Green
Q: Can you define the future self concept in behavior change?
The future self concept involves envisioning how you want to be in the future and accepting where you are now; scripting or imagining with compassion helps you move toward that identity without perfectionism.
178. Using Visualization, Imagery, and Identity Work to Support Long-Term Health Motivation with Psychotherapist Margo Green
Q: Could you define visualization for our listeners in the context of behavior change?
Visualization is mental rehearsal, a practice used in sports and other high-performance domains, that strengthens neural pathways and primes you to act by seeing yourself performing healthy habits in your mind before doing them.
172. GLP-1s & Muscle: Should We Be Concerned? Interview with Dr. Michael Tsoukas
Q: What clinical steps can clinicians take to preserve muscle in patients on GLP-1s?
Emphasize a high protein intake (2–2.4 g/kg/day for highly active individuals) and implement resistance training; screen at baseline for sarcopenia and monitor with simple tests and body composition measurements.
172. GLP-1s & Muscle: Should We Be Concerned? Interview with Dr. Michael Tsoukas
Q: How much of total weight loss on GLP-1 therapy is from muscle mass loss, and is this unique to GLP-1s?
The data suggest about 25-33% of total weight loss can be from muscle mass loss, and this proportion is similar across GLP-1s, bariatric surgery, and dietary approaches, indicating it's not unique to GLP-1s.
