Understanding Obesity Through Anesthesia and Beyond with Dr. Sarah Bodin

The Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast

Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week, I am joined by Dr. Sarah Bodin who delves into the challenges of anesthesiology in obese patients and shares her journey into obesity medicine. Dr. Bodin discusses her new telehealth practice aimed at managing obesity through personalized care plans focusing on diet, exercise, and behavior modifications. Additionally, we explore the significant influence of government policies and the food industry on obesity rates. The discussion offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the complexities and treatment of obesity.
Dr. Bodin is a Diplomate and Fellow of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She maintains memberships in the Obesity Medical Association, the Florida Medical Association, the Florida Society of Anesthesiologists, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering at the University of Virginia (1991), her Doctor of Medicine at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine (1995) and completed residency in Anesthesiology at the Medical College of Georgia in 1999. She has practiced in both academic and community settings in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, and is published in the field of Anesthesiology. She has a new boutique obesity medicine practice out of St. Augustine Florida, Quality of Life Physician Weight Management, serving Floridians via telehealth service.
Dr. Sarah Bodin is a board-certified anesthesiologist who has practiced both academic and community anesthesiology for almost 25 years. She has mastered pharmacology and physiology in her career, and the art of quickly developing a trusting relationship with her patients, while working in a variety of medical settings with many team members. She became interested in obesity medicine as a speciality after many years of treating people with obesity related diseases in the operating room, in addition to her own struggles with weight. She began studying obesity and its treatment in 2022, finding that the medical community as a whole has much to learn, and to overcome the unjust stigma that the disease carries.
