In this solo episode of Below Her Surface, Lily dives into the questions she’s asked most often, especially from the women who joined the free 3 Day Metabolic Reset. From PCOS to thyroid, cravings to calories, this is a no-fluff, evidence-informed conversation that unpacks what’s actually going on beneath the health trends. Lily answers listener questions on: • PCOS and insulin resistance: Why “gluten free, dairy free” isn’t a protocol and what really drives results. • The truth about carbs: How to calculate your needs, reintroduce them without weight gain, and why 65g isn’t a magic number. • Thyroid and weight loss: How metabolism adapts and what to do before cutting calories again. • Cortisol, progesterone, and fatigue: Why your testing day matters and how to support recovery. • Preconception and fertility: Why insulin, minerals, and metabolism all play a role before pregnancy. • Fasting myths: What works, what backfires, and how stress and hormones change the equation. • Gluten, dairy, and inflammation: How to know what your body’s really reacting to. • How long you can safely be in a calorie deficit: What happens before your metabolism pushes back. • What blood work actually matters for women: How to interpret it beyond the basics. • The smarter, calmer path to weight loss: Less hustle, more clinical precision. Whether you’re working on your metabolism, managing PCOS, or simply craving a grounded take on women’s health, this episode is your listener-led masterclass in making sense of the noise.
