Summary
Why does getting healthier feel harder than it should? With the new year upon us, a lot of us are thinking more seriously about our health goals. We’re paying attention. We’re putting in effort. And it’s frustrating when that effort doesn’t seem to translate into results. That frustration doesn’t just show up in January. It shows up anytime you decide your health matters. This week on The Health Feast, Po and I are joined by Dr. Regina Ragasa , a physician who works with patients every day who are doing “the right things” and still feeling stuck. Dr. Ragasa is triple board–certified in family medicine, lifestyle medicine, and obesity medicine, and she helps patients achieve sustainable, compassionate weight loss by addressing root causes rather than quick fixes. In this episode, we explore: - Why so many well-intentioned health efforts stall, even when you’re working very hard to do everything right - What often gets missed beneath the surface when progress feels slower than expected - How small, meaningful shifts can completely change the trajectory of your health - Why protein quality matters more than most people realize - Why compassion is a practical ingredient for change that actually lasts If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying hard and still wondering what’s not clicking… If you’ve blamed yourself when things didn’t move the way you expected… This episode offers a steadier, more honest way forward. So if you’re putting in the effort and wondering what you might be missing, you’re in the right place.
