Why is it so hard to keep weight off — even after you lose it?

The Lanby’s Wellness Advisor and Registered dietitian Rachel Brief, MS RD unpacks the truth about weight management, hormones, and the mindset shift needed to build a sustainable, joyful relationship with your body and nutrition.

Rachel explains why sustaining weight loss matters more than crash dieting, how gender and hormones affect your ability to lose weight, and why postpartum women need to shift the narrative from “bouncing back” to “nourishing forward.” From the science of blood sugar regulation to the power of personalized nutrition, this conversation is packed with insights that will help you rethink your wellness journey — not with restriction, but with intention and empowerment.
