In this episode of Breaking the Cycle, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Phyllis: a physician, functional medicine expert, and someone who has walked the very path she now helps others navigate. We explore the powerful connection between genetics and weight loss, the role of hormonal imbalances, and how vitamin deficiencies can drive you to food without even realizing it.

Dr. Phyllis also opens up about her own personal weight loss journey: navigating the shame of obesity as a doctor, and how she reclaimed her health from the inside out.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but your body isn’t responding, this episode is for you. It’s time to stop blaming willpower and start looking deeper.
