Why Your Diet Isn't Working and What to Do About It
Manage episode 484360200 series 3549977
Ever find yourself hyper-focused on one aspect of health while missing the big picture? In this eye-opening episode, I share a conversation with a client who couldn't understand why she wasn't losing weight despite meticulously counting calories. The solution wasn't about eating less—it was about eating smarter with adequate protein and fiber.
I reveal my own nutrition blind spot from years ago when I became so fixated on being vegetarian that I'd skip nutritious animal proteins while happily eating brownies because they were "technically vegetarian." This tunnel vision prevents many of us from making truly beneficial choices for our bodies. Instead of temporary restrictions or arbitrary rules, sustainable wellness requires a lifestyle approach focused on what your body actually needs.
The episode dives deep into practical nutrition strategies, including how to estimate proper protein portions using visual cues like your palm or fist, finding fiber sources that work with your unique digestive system, and most importantly—healing your gut. I share my personal transformation through gut health improvement, which helped me reach my premenopausal weight while dramatically boosting my energy, mood, and focus. My husband even eliminated his seasonal allergies through the same approach! Whether you're struggling with weight plateaus, low energy, migraines, or other health challenges, this episode offers a fresh perspective on creating sustainable wellness habits that serve you for life. I also introduce my VIP Lounge community and upcoming gut health events for those seeking additional support on their wellness journey.
