Meet Dr.Myers
Our resident expert who understands the medical ramifications of bariatric surgery and shares real world solutions for post-op life.
Why have we added a physician to the team?
Bariatric Eating is a company made up of individuals who have had the experience of bariatric surgery. Our team understands first-hand what our customers are going through as they navigate their lives post-surgery.
While we are experienced in the life changing impact of bariatric surgery, we are (or were) patients and not physicians. As good as our advice is, we feel as though you deserve to have additional medical expertise on your side.
Why Dr. Myers?
We spent a lot of time trying to figure out who to add to our team. A bariatric surgeon? A bariatric specialist? A registered dietician? And then we had an epiphany.
We needed someone who wasn’t from the conventional side of bariatrics, we needed an expert who understood the medical ramifications of our procedures and could offer us real world solutions in the aftermath.
We are proud to introduce Dr. Andrew Myers to our team. Dr. Myers is a naturopathic physician whose expertise is in holistic medicine and therapeutic nutrition.
So how will this help me?
Dr. Myers has spent the last several years studying the implications of bariatric surgery and the essential nutritional needs patients’ have post-procedure.
Dr. Myers is going to help us to help you with nutrition education and updates from the world of bariatric and nutrition research so that we can keep you informed of the latest findings.
Please help us welcome Dr. Myers to the team and be on the lookout for blogs and updates from our newest team member.

Dieting in reverse
Eat Fresh
Our bodies are designed to derive our nutrition from fresh foods. It's as simple as that. There is much more to the food experience though, and exploring our relationship to the foods we eat is illuminating.
Fortunately, you can easily shift your relationship with food. With just a few simple additions here and there, you can zing with the energy.
Movement is the ancestor of exercise
Move Your Body
The function of our bodies depends on movement. Movement promotes the health and function of every cell through enhanced circulation and the delivery of oxygen and nutrition. Take the stairs. Walk to the store. Move your body as much as you can each day!
The automatic recharge
Sleep and Reset
The fact is, needing sleep is almost seen as a sign of weakness in our society. Sleep deprivation is a badge of honor in progressions from medicine to computer programming.
But here's the truth: if you exist on stolen naps at your desk, or gallons of coffee and a prayer, you may be seriously harming your health and taking years off your life.
Stress is the disease, oxygen is the cure
Breathe Deeply Every Day
How do you know you're breathing deeply? On a daily basis, most of us breathe shallowly, using only a small percentage of our lung capacity and getting just the part of the oxygen our bodies require. It's kind of like holding your breath all day long.
If you lead a busy, demanding life, you may spend a lot of time breathing shallowly while you're not under stress. That creates a habit – so even when you're not under stress, you may still breathe like you are.
Breathing is about training your mind to think in a different way, making purposeful optimal breathing a daily habit.
