Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Michael Feiz

Sourced directly from Dr. Michael Feiz's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Feiz's approach to GLP-1 medications for weight loss?
GLP-1 medications can help reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness. However, every patient responds differently, and dosage, side effects, and results can vary significantly. Dr. Feiz emphasizes that these medications should be approached as an individualized treatment, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Why does weight loss become more challenging with age?
As individuals age, factors like changes in metabolism, muscle mass, hormones, activity levels, stress, and daily responsibilities can make weight loss more difficult. If weight loss feels different in your 40s, 50s, and beyond compared to your 20s, it's often due to more complex underlying factors rather than just a lack of effort.
What should I do if I experience pain after eating?
Pain after eating should not be ignored. Possible causes include ulcers or gastritis. The practice may evaluate the gallbladder, especially if discomfort occurs after heavier or fatty meals, as gallbladder problems can cause pain beneath the right ribs. Repeated episodes can lead to inflammation or complications requiring treatment. It's important to figure out the cause rather than pushing through the pain, and if discomfort after meals persists, it's worth getting evaluated.
Does Dr. Feiz offer additional educational resources?
Yes, Dr. Feiz and Dr. Rim host the 'Weight Loss by Design' podcast. It was created to extend patient conversations beyond the exam room, making complex medical topics easier to understand. The podcast covers weight loss, bariatric surgery, metabolism, digestive health, lasting change, and features expert guests who explore how weight and metabolic health impact the entire body. The goal is to simplify information, avoid jargon, and help individuals feel more informed about their options.
Why might gynecomastia become more noticeable after weight loss?
Losing weight primarily removes fat. However, gynecomastia is glandular tissue, which behaves differently from fat. For some men, as fat decreases with weight loss, the glandular tissue that was previously hidden becomes more obvious. If your chest doesn't look as desired after significant weight loss, it's not a failure but a biological reality. Surgical options are available to remove glandular tissue and achieve a more defined chest.
