Today's episode is a long-overdue solo show... It's been a while since I've done one and thought this would be the perfect time. It's summer and everyone's dieting to get in shape... But what happens when eating less doesn't work? Is it possible that eating more could help lead to weight loss? It is. And I'm talking to you today about some of the reasons why this may be happening, including:

-What happens internally when you diet

-Energy availability and how that plays into fat loss

-Hormone changes during a diet

-Eating behaviors during a diet that may be doing you more harm than good

-Changes to NEAT and calorie output

-So much more!

If you've been stuck in the cycle of chronic dieting with little to no success, please give this episode a listen... You won't regret it <3.

Today's episode of EMBody Radio is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. Four Sigmatic provides the best in adaptogenic/therapeutic mushroom products. You’ve seen me post about this stuff on Instagram and IG stories all the time, and I wanted to take a sec to tell you a little more about them today. I started using them because I love adaptogens, and many of their mushroom products are just that – adaptogens. Adaptogens basically help you respond better to physical and emotional stress. I run a business, run multiple social media platforms that tie into my business, I’m a student, and I have a life outside of all that that I’m trying to live, so stress management is key. Mushrooms can also be used to help everything from your gut health to your skin.

My favorites are the Lion's Mane Mushroom Elixir and the Mushroom Hot Cacao with Reishi... Be sure to listen to the whole episode to learn why ;). If you want to try Four Sigmatic products, use the code "EMDUNC" to get 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/emdunc.
