Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to announce that my latest podcast episode is now live! In this solo episode, I dive into a topic that many of us find perplexing and frustrating: why it’s so hard to lose weight, even when it feels like you’re doing everything right.
183: Why You’re Not Losing Weight (Even When You’re Doing All The Things!)
Here’s a breakdown of what we’ll cover:
- Why the “calories in vs. calories out” equation isn’t the full story when it comes to weight loss.
- The critical role of mindset and stress in weight loss resistance, and how to calm your nervous system.
- How chronic dieting can slow your metabolism and why reverse dieting can help rebuild it.
- The impact of hormonal imbalances (like estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid) on weight loss.
- The often-overlooked link between gut health (parasites, candida, SIBO) and inflammation or weight loss resistance.
- Why excessive exercise (especially too much HIIT and cardio without enough strength training) can backfire.
- The importance of mineral balance and how stress, caffeine, and sweating can deplete essential nutrients.
- The hidden effects of environmental toxins on hormones and metabolism, and subtle ways to support detox pathways.
- Why “doing more” isn’t always the answer, and the value of self-compassion, patience, and playing the long game for sustainable results.
And so much more!

If you’re in the health or fitness industry (or just passionate about wellness), I highly recommend checking out the Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) program.
