Natalie Tysdal




If weight loss feels confusing, overwhelming, or downright impossible—you’re not alone.


This week on the Natalie Tysdal Podcast, Natalie sits down with triple board certified endocrinologist and obesity specialist Dr. Yasmine Elamir to deliver a candid look at why so many women (and men!) struggle to shed pounds, keep them off, and stop thinking about their weight 24/7.


The Science of Weight Loss: Myths, Mindset & What Actually Works

with Dr. Yasmine Elamir


Ever wondered why losing weight seems so much harder now than it did a decade ago? Curious about whether you’re really doomed by your genetics, your mindset, or just that processed food aisle at the grocery store? Dr. Elamir breaks down America’s unique food environment, the real role of hormones and stress, and why “just have more willpower” is completely outdated advice.


You’ll learn:


The three factors that matter most for weight loss (hint: it’s not all about what you eat)


  • Why sleep could be sabotaging your healthy habits


  • How to actually get enough protein—yes, even if you’re vegetarian


  • The truth about popular diets like keto, plant-based, and intermittent fasting


  • Which trends (and products) to skip if you want real progress


  • Simple, actionable steps to start making changes—without burning out or giving up


Whether you want practical tips on rebalancing your plate or you’re tired of feeling lost in all the diet noise, Dr. Elamir’s compassionate, relatable advice will help you find what works for YOU.


“As a doctor who has struggled with my own weight, I know the pain—and I know there’s a better way.” – Dr. Yasmine Elamir
