Episode 171: Your Holiday Weight Loss Survival Guide with Spearfish Bariatrics and Weight Management

The holidays can make healthy habits feel impossible. Between packed schedules, comfort food, and family pressure, it’s easy to feel like staying on track just isn’t realistic. In this live Doc Talk episode, the Weight Management Clinic team in Spearfish shares practical, judgment-free advice for navigating the holiday season without guilt or perfectionism. They talk honestly about food pressure, portion control, alcohol, winter exercise, and why consistency matters more than “starting over” in January. The conversation also tackles big questions around intermittent fasting, weight loss medications, postmenopausal weight changes, and why the number on the scale doesn’t tell the whole story. If you’re looking for realistic strategies, encouragement, and a healthier mindset this holiday season, this episode meets you right where you are. Recorded live at The Matthews Art Center in Spearfish and featuring, Keena Byrd-Moro, DNP, Amanda Taglioli, PA-C, Katy Jones, DNP, Cora Bush, PA-C, Laura Morris, R.D., all of Spearfish Bariatrics and Weight Management and Emilia Flint, Ph.D., of Black Hills Psychology.
