How One Surgeon Challenged the Way Childhood Obesity is Treated | Dr. Evan Nadler, MD

Are you willing to challenge the system when you know your patients deserve better? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Evan Nadler (‪@obesityexplained‬) a nationally recognized pediatric bariatric surgeon who helped build a field most people don’t even realize exists. For more than 20 years, Dr. Nadler has challenged how medicine views childhood obesity, not as a failure of willpower, but as a disease that deserves treatment, dignity, and science-based care. He shares what it was like to stand alone in rooms full of skeptics, to be criticized for operating on children, and to keep going anyway because his patients needed him to. Topics we explore: 1. How pediatric bariatric surgery came to exist and why it was controversial 2. What it feels like to be publicly challenged for doing what you believe is right 3. Why childhood obesity should be treated as a disease, not a moral failing 4.Career pivots in medicine and following unmet needs instead of fixed plans 5. Building a pediatric weight management telemedicine practice to expand access 6. The reality of long waitlists and gaps in care for millions of children 7. What advocacy actually looks like inside and outside the exam room Sometimes innovation looks like courage. Sometimes it looks like refusing to accept “this is just how it’s done.” If this episode challenged your thinking, subscribe, share it with someone who needs this perspective, and leave a comment telling me what belief in healthcare you think needs to be reexamined. 🤍 Connect with the Guest 🔴 YouTube: ‪@obesityexplained‬ 🔷 LinkedIn: Evan Nadler, MD, MBA ⭐️ Instagram: @obesity_explained ✅ www.obesityexplained.com 📥 evan.nadler@EPNMD.com Virtual Shadowing & Pre-Health Resources Virtual shadowing is an important tool to use when planning your medical career.
