"The Catching Point Transformation" with David Prologo, MD
Episode description
David Prologo, MD is a Christian, a Husband, a Father, and a Fighter. He is a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. Dr. Prologo has spent more than twenty years specifically analyzing the phenomenon of diet attrition—why do diets always fail? More importantly, when they do fail, why do we blame the patients for that failure?
That journey led Dr. Prologo to perform first in human advanced interventional procedures to manage obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions. It further led to the identification of the catching point—a clear pivot point beyond which calorie restriction and exercise are easier for patients. Dr. Prologo has been recognized nationally and internationally for his work, including features on The Today Show, in the Washington Post, on Capitol Hill, in numerous in peer-reviewed journal publications, countless web based invited expert articles, and much more.
He currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife and two children. Dr. Prologo continues to advocate for those who are in pain or struggle with weight loss – particularly driving an agenda of acceptance, inclusion, and love.
In this conversation Dr. Prologo talks about his recent clinical trial that quickly gained attention, which involved freezing the hunger nerve. Dr. Prologo shares why and how this trial was effective in helping patients with weightloss long term. We then transition the conversation to weightloss in general: why do most diets fail, how does a physiology of an overweight patient differ from the one with normal BMI, willpower relevance, success factors and introduce the notion of the catching point. Dr. Prologo elaborates on the science, lessons learned and his experience of working with his patients, which he also summarized in his upcoming book "The Catching Point Transformation" available for preorder today.
