S1 Ep 58What no one told you about weight loss?

It's really common to attribute weight loss that won't.budge. to hormones being imbalanced. But what if I told you that giving hormones all the blame isn't going deep enough. There is so much more we need to consider if you're stuck and struggling to lose weight. Things like are you eating enough? Exercising too much? Not supporting your body's ability to breakdown and absorb foods. There is so much we need to do and almost none of it is about calories in calories out.
