24 May, 2011, San Antonio, TX — Richard Peterson, MD, MPH, FACS, interview on San Antonio's KSAT-12 — 'Weight Loss Pod':    Dr. Peterson, Director of the UT Center for Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery, agrees that there are benefits to the new sauna weight loss spa therapy, which uses heat and LED lighting to accomplish weight loss — but any weight loss is more than likely just water weight. According to Dr. Peterson, a balanced diet and exercise are the mainstays for long-term weight loss results, and he strongly recommends talking to your doctor before using any kind of sauna weight loss therapy. | LINK - Download Video
