Make healthy habits convenient

Today's episode is different. I’m not giving you the same BS weight loss advice you’ve heard over and over again. We're getting into the messy, nuanced questions that actually come up when you’re trying to lose weight in a way that’s healthy, shame free, and supportive of feeling the way you want to feel. 

We’re talking about plateaus that seem to happen for no reason, cravings that feel out of control, hormones that complicate everything, workouts that backfire, and how to pursue weight loss without destroying your relationship with food—or yourself. And we’re doing it with someone I trust deeply to hold all of that complexity: functional registered dietitian and certified personal trainer Nicki Parlitsis, who has helped thousands of people lose weight in ways that actually last. She’s actually my personal RD and she’s helped me lose 30 pounds in a sustainable way over the course of a year, after I got some test results that served as a wake up call in my own life. 

Today’s episode is going to help you create a body that feels amazing to live in. If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or secretly ashamed for struggling with something that everyone online makes look easy—this episode is for you. 

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• How to break through a weight loss plateau 
• The common, "minuscule" mistakes that can stall your weight loss journey
• Strategies to manage hunger and cut calories without feeling deprived
• The difference between "head hunger" and "stomach hunger"
• The specific lab work and health markers (e.g., A1C, cholesterol, ferritin, thyroid panel) that indicate success or could be impeding your weight loss
• How hormonal conditions like Hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's and PCOS can affect your metabolism
