Dr. Prologo is dual-board certified in Interventional Radiology and Obesity Medicine, with a focused interest in bariatric artery embolizations (BAE) and fitness management. He is uniquely positioned through his education, career, and research to connect with patients and the public through evidence based procedural and lifestyle interventions.
The creation of the Catching Point Transformation (CPT) represents 10 years of training, research, and development to design something real that would cut through all of the smoke and mirrors. That could be given away to BAE patients as complementary therapy, and to the public as an option free from marketing translation. It follows from years of interaction personally and professionally with failing dieters and their seemingly endless desperation and frustration, as well as his own personal struggle with weight loss.

It is clear that transformation is possible only through individualization and science, an option not available to most people. This program is a service for all BAE patients, and for all the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, spouses, and friends who are drowning in the overload of slightly tweaked diet and fitness options for sale under the auspice of a new idea. This program is based on physiological truths. It is designed to bend when your body resists so you can adapt. It stays true to your goals. It gets you somewhere, and will hopefully change your life.
