Why do 90% of people who know exactly what to do to release weight still struggle to follow through?
In this episode, I dive into the shocking statistics from the CDC showing that 73% of the population is overweight or obese—and yet, lack of information isn’t the problem. From calorie-counting myths to the outdated “eat less, move more” approach, I break down why traditional advice has failed us and reveal the real missing pieces: your hormones and nervous system.
If you’ve ever wondered why willpower and diet plans don’t last, this conversation will show you how to finally bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
Tune in to the full episode to learn how to make peace with your body, reset your nervous system, and create lasting transformation.
