Informative podcast on the topic.

This excellent podcast offers an inspiring look into the expanding field of obesity medicine. Dr. Harold Bays is a fantastic host, and Dr. Yuval Pinto provides his personal perspective on how specialized training enhances patient care, emphasizes the value of fellowship programs, and underscores the importance and future of obesity medicine. I also appreciated the in-depth reference to the open-access journal Obesity Pillars and the recommended websites for more information on fellowship opportunities. Overall, this podcast is both informative and motivating.

Please fix editing issues

Great podcast when I can listen seamlessly. Two of the three episodes that I’ve tried to listen to have major editing issues where the audio starts over multiple times. This is very disruptive.
