    Why You Vomit, Burp, Feel Bloated, or Get Reflux

    You eat a normal dinner, and an hour later you're burping, bloated, and lying awake with heartburn. In this episode, Dr. Brian explains why a slower stomach causes burping, bloating, reflux, and vomiting, why timing and portion size matter more than the food itself, and why the "paralyzed stomach" fear you've seen online is not the everyday reality. This is education, not personal medical advice. Follow the show so you do not miss the next episode, and send this to someone who needs to hear it.

    Barely Eating Is Not Winning: Why Starving Backfires

    People tell me almost proudly that they barelyate anything today, like the less food they can get by on, the better the medication is working. That belief is quietly making a lot of people sick. In this episode I walk through what actually happens inside your body when almost no food comes in, why you end up cold, dizzy, exhausted, and irritable, and why a starving body holds onto weight instead of letting it go. This also explains why every crash diet you ever tried backfired, so it matters even if you've never touched a medication. I'm not your doctor, and this is education, notpersonal medical advice.

    The Real Reason You Feel Awful on GLP-1s (It's Not the Drug)

    The tiredness, the headaches, the hair in the shower drain. Most people blame the medication, and most of the time the real cause is what they quietly stopped eating. This might be the most important episode of the season. I explain why turning off hunger did not turn off your body's needs, why an empty tank gets mistaken for a side effect, and the one question to ask yourself before you blame the shot for how you feel. If you only listen to one episode this season, make it this one. I'm not your doctor, and this is education, not personal medical advice.
