Today I have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer to discuss metabolism, cravings and detoxification.

We discuss the importance of identifying root causes for lasting health improvements, and why thyroid health alone is rarely the full answer to weight loss struggles.

Plus Dr. H’s top three often-overlooked reasons for slow metabolism, including:

• Elevated inflammation: How to test it and why it matters
• Suboptimal insulin sensitivity: What lab results can reveal before blood sugar issues arise
• Gunked up detox pathways: the body naturally cleanses itself and why most marketed "detox" products aren’t necessary.

As the holidays approach, Lisa and Dr. Meyer discuss effective strategies for managing cravings and blood sugar to stay in control while enjoying seasonal treats.

BONUS! Dr. H and I continued chatting and ended up recording a BONUS AUDIO for you! Grab that HERE if you want to hear us discuss specifically how to address the inflammation she indicates is a big reason for slow metabolism.

Don’t you want to talk about pooping? I know, I know–just the episode you’ve been waiting for!

In all seriousness, this is such an important topic. Pooping is one of the main ways we naturally detoxify our body. It’s literally the body’s pathway for getting rid of what we don’t need. We’ve got to poop regularly to be healthy and lose weight.

But sometimes things don’t just come out right! Whether this isa n every once in a while problem for you or it’s chronic, my guest Melissa Hall Klepacki will break down the root causes for constipation and what to actually do about it.

Is intermittent fasting right for you? If you’re a woman, you may want to think twice. My guest today is Jillian Greaves, Functional Dietitian and Women's health specialist. We discuss why a one-size-fits-all approach—like intermittent fasting—can be harmful, especially for women.

You’ll learn why the research behind intermittent fasting often doesn't apply to women and how ignoring your body’s signals can disrupt hormones like cortisol and kisspeptin, affecting everything from insulin sensitivity to appetite regulation.

We’ve all gotten sucked in by one fad diet or another, or thought that this particular supplement would be the cure all. But until we have mastered the 6 essentials for health and weight loss I detail out in this episode, none of that will make a difference.

Please don’t worry about food combinations, or continuous glucose monitors or magic greens powders, or cleanses. Once you get the essentials down, you will have little need for anything else. I promise.

Remember this is basic supplementation--multi vitamins, omega 3's, etc. Please focus on the essentials in this episode and know that these supplements are just additive.

When was the last time you overate? And did you beat yourself for it? Did you end up binging more because of it?

But did you know that what you do after the overeat is actually more important than what it was you ate? Ya crazy right. We need to avoid the restrict→binge cycle as well as the “throw your hands in the air screw it" mentality.

Listen to this episode to find out how to process through your overeats. I know you don’t want to think about it. I know you’d rather just hide and hope it doesn’t happen again. But I promise you this is a better way and the key to lasting change.
