EPISODE 188: Are you tired of restrictive diets that show no results and only make you miserable? You’re not alone!

When you want to lose weight––no matter the reason––you’re surrounded by information that tells you to cut off carbs, cut off fats, cut off proteins, etc… but cutting off entire food groups and restricting yourself to so little calories you can barely move is NOT the way to lose weight.

If anything, those solutions make your weight loss journey harder and you end up giving up before even seeing results.

So, if you want real change, you cannot miss this week’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast.

In it, I sit down with the amazing Joseph Hoye, a health coach who specializes in helping women 40 and older reach their goal weight (and change their lifestyle) in a healthy and sustainable way. 

Together, Joseph and I will be discussing why you need to stop following fad diets, how losing weight always starts with a mindset shift, how to accurately track food intake, why you need to add strength training to your exercise routine, and so much more.

Are you ready to transform your approach to weight loss?

Then run, don’t walk, and tune in now!

Key Takeaways: 

Introduction (00:00)

Are some diets more harmful than others? (03:29)

How to rework your relationship with food (06:33)

Where to start to lose weight (13:20)

Why you need to repair your mindset first (25:07)

Strength training is your biggest weapon! (30:21)

Hormonal balance comes first (34:42)
