The Checkup with Doctor Mike · The Doctor Who Tried Fat Loss Medications | Dr. Christle Guevarra · 16 Nov 2025 podcast

I went down from, I'd say, down to 130 pounds right before entering med school.

And looking back, I wasn't particularly lean.

I wasn't like bodybuilding show type of physique or even a shape cover model physique.

It was pretty soft.

It didn't have a lot of muscle mass on me.

But going into the summer of medical school, there was an accelerated anatomy program for all the overachievers who wanted to spend their summer doing anatomy.

So in the fall, you could teach anatomy to all of the regular people who took the summer off.

And I just remember after dieting for a whole year and just remembering what the hunger pangs were like, like just tossing and turning up until four in the morning, just this insatiable like.

food focused, um, hunger drive, uh, you know, where I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, eat anything.

Cause I'm trying to, you know, this is what I got to do, right?

This is the willpower.

Like, if this is what I got to do to be like some semblance of like, not thin, but kind of thin, um, then here we go.

Like, you know, and I ended up failing anatomy, uh, you know, by a couple of percentage points, just because I couldn't, again, couldn't focus, um,

I would just show up a zombie during anatomy lab and then forget it trying to do flashcards like through one ear and out the other.

And so.

So I did have some labs drawn and I did see a doctor every now and again.

And the, I didn't really talk to them about weight management.

They had brought it up every now and again, like, oh, you're overweight.

I think at one point my triglycerides were a little bit elevated, 150, 155, but nothing too terrible that, you know, really got to intervene with it.

So yeah.
