About this episode

Gina Livy discusses the complexities of weight loss with five experts, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying issues like hormones, sleep, and stress.

You can eat in a calorie deficit and still not lose weight. If your sleep is wrecked, your stress has been chronic for years and you've quietly lost muscle, the deficit isn't fixing what's underneath it all. Gina Livy brings five experts to the table to cut through the noise on hormones, sleep, stress and weight loss: Dr. Olinca Trejo on why insulin resistance is a symptom and not a diagnosis, Dr. Paul Hrkal on rebuilding trust with a body you've stopped believing in, clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David on replacing judgment with curiosity, sleep and stress educator Alanna McGinn on why rest and sleep are not the same thing, and learning strategist Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer on the smallest possible first step. Looking to make change this Fall, start here.
