Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bice with Dr. K. Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, and today on the podcast is my amazing friend, Dr. Danielle Bellardo. Yay. I'm so excited to be here, Dr. Kay. This girl is internationally renowned cardiologist who trained on the East Coast. Where did you train? I was in Philly for all my training. Drexel, Temple, Lincoln, I's in Philly for the whole time and then just moved to

Southern California about a year ago. We're so excited to have you here. She is an expert on

nutrition and health and wellness and how it impacts your cardiovascular health. And I'm really

excited to learn about this amazing miracle weight loss drug that you're prescribing that's changing

people's lives.

Yes. I want to take it. I'm so excited to talk about it with you. Thank you so much for having me

on your podcast. Dr. Kay is the best and she is just the top of the top when it comes to everything

beauty. So I'm so honored to be here. And we were just talking about how actually there is a, I think a breakthrough with weight loss medications that really combines your career and

mine because weight loss can be so challenging, right? I think that the biggest problem I think

with weight loss that we see is that people make make it seem like everyone should just be able to

pull themselves up by their bootstraps and lose weight. All you have to do is have motivation.

All you have to do is be able to say no to your favorite foods. But the truth is so much more

complicated and nuance than that. And that's where this new medication that was FDA-approved,

it's called We Govee. And by the way, I have no financial conflict of interest with the company at all. I just use this medication strictly based on the amazing clinical data. But this medication is a game changer. So how do you spell that? So W-E-G-O-V-I. Everybody write that down. Dr. Bellardo, you're in Newport Beach. I'm in Newport Beach. And what's the name of your cardiovascular group? So we're at an institute of plant-based medicine where we do a lot of nutrition counseling. We don't make everyone go on vegan diets. We just recommend what's called plant predominant diets, Mediterranean-style diets. We use nutrition with our registered dietitians as well as we have a multidisciplinary

practice. We have gastroenterology. We have registered dietitians. We have fertility, women's health.

We have just a lot of different women that work in our practice and different specialties.

And we do weight loss. And I think that the most important thing for everyone listening to know is

that if you've struggled with weight loss

and if you've tried various different diets or even if you've been successful with weight loss,

but you've found that maintaining your weight loss is really hard.

I just want you to know that there's actually science behind that and it's not your fault.

And that's where this medication comes in.
