From Patient to Provider: My Battle with Obesity

Raw Health Talk

Release Date: 11/12/2025

In this debut episode of Raw Health Talk, host Nisar Ahmed sits down with Mubushar Raza, NP, founder of Station Medical, for an unfiltered conversation about obesity, health, and transformation.

Once weighing nearly 300 pounds, Mubushar opens up about his personal journey — from battling type 2 diabetes and hypertension to losing over 130 pounds and reclaiming his health through discipline, balance, and self-awareness. Now a Nurse Practitioner and Personal Trainer, he shares how that experience reshaped his approach to medicine and inspired his mission: to help patients prevent disease by addressing the root cause, not just prescribing medication.

This episode dives into:

  • What it really takes to lose weight and keep it off
  • The difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes
  • How restrictive dieting leads to binge cycles
  • Why balance, not extremes, is the key to sustainable health
  • The mindset shift from motivation to dedication

Real stories. Real health. Raw Health Talk.

🎙️ Listen now to hear how one man turned his biggest challenge into his life’s calling.
