8. A Bariatric Athlete Journey with Rob DiMedio

Active Bariatric Nutrition

In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interview the one and only Rob DiMedio of @my_weight_is_history, a bariatric athlete, and we discuss:

• His bariatric journey thus far and what brought him to making the decision to have surgery
• His exercise evolution since having bariatric surgery and what he has learned
• Our 2023 collaboration where we will adjust his nutrition to meet the following goals: muscle gaining, endurance training, and leaning out phases
• This will be the first of a series of episodes chronicling his progress through his training and nutrition phases next year!
