Obesity is in Your Head? with Dr. Chet Stringham
Manage episode 398216829 series 2987155
What January would be complete without a topic addressing the extra weight we all seem to have? But this isn't exercise, it's not a diet, and it definitely isn't an expensive medication.
Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.
My guest today is Dr. Chet Stringham. Chet has been in practice for almost 3 decades now, and has come across a discovery that both makes sense and challenges general practices: Obesity is largely caused by stress. Don't lose hope, I know stress can seem impossible to get rid of, but it is possible to reverse that. And none of us are in it alone. 70% of Americans are overweight, not obese, but still overweight. That's a really high number, because it means only 1 in 4 is maybe healthy. And the data he shares is pretty extreme in some cases.

Let's lose stress and weight!
I'm not a doctor, not do I play one in a radio show, but I would still advise working out and a semi-decent diet alongside the life changes we've discussed today. Both are good for your long term mental and physical health aside from just the loss of weight.
The top country rankings are the exact same as last week, so no update needed. I'll put it in the show notes if anyone cares to look:
1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and Illinois.
2. England of The United Kingdom.
3. Australia, with Western Australia now taking over.
4. Canada, with British Columbia staying at the top.
5. New Zealand.
That's it for this month! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here for another new episode!
Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.
