Bariatric surgery is one of the most misunderstood treatments in modern medicine.

Many people still believe it’s just about “eating less” or taking the easy way out.
But the truth is far more powerful — bariatric surgery changes biology, not just the stomach.

In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika, board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine, explains:
• What bariatric surgery actually does
• How it resets gut hormones and hunger signals
• Why diabetes often improves before major weight loss
• The health benefits beyond the scale
• The real risks, responsibilities, and long-term commitment
• Why bariatric surgery is NOT the easy way out

This isn’t about aesthetics.
This is about metabolic health, disease reversal, and life expectancy.

If you’re considering bariatric surgery — or want to understand obesity medicine at a deeper level — this video will change how you see it.

Why Your Knees Still Hurt (It’s Not Just “Old Age”) | Dr. Mohammed Paika

Do your knees hurt every time you walk up stairs, stand up, or get out of a chair?

Most people are told the same thing:
👉 “It’s just aging.”
👉 “Your knees are worn out.”
👉 “That’s normal as you get older.”

But that explanation is wrong — and it’s keeping millions of people stuck in pain.

In this video, Dr. Mohammed Paika — double board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine — breaks down the real reason knee pain develops and why weight plays a much bigger role than most people realize.

Here’s the shocking truth:

📌 For every pound of weight you lose, you take FOUR pounds of pressure off your knees.

And that’s just the beginning.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why knee pain is NOT just “wear and tear”
• The shocking physics that multiplies weight inside your knee joint
• How “just 10 pounds” turns into massive daily cartilage damage
• Why obesity causes arthritis even in the hands (yes — your hands)
• The hidden inflammatory chemicals released by belly fat
• The exact 5%–10% weight loss range shown in studies to reduce knee pain
• Why exercise alone often FAILS when knees already hurt
• How to break the vicious cycle of pain → inactivity → weight gain
• What actually works first — even if walking hurts right now

As a hospitalist, Dr. Paika has treated hundreds of patients with knee pain, osteoarthritis, and mobility loss directly linked to excess weight. This video combines real-world clinical experience with simple, easy-to-understand science — no gimmicks, no shame, no unrealistic advice.

This is NOT about getting “skinny.”
This is about getting your life back.

If you or someone you love struggles with chronic knee pain, stiffness, or arthritis — this video could change how you think about your body forever.
