Conquering Weight Loss Resistance with Marcelle Pick


Listen Later

 Ever feel like no matter what you do, the weight just won’t budge? You’re not crazy, and you’re definitely not alone. Midlife changes everything—your hormones, your metabolism, and even how your body responds to stress. That’s why I sit down with Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN, NP, a Functional Medicine Pioneer and Co-Founder of the Women to Women Clinic, to talk about what’s really going on and how to work with your body instead of fighting against it.

 

We get into the stuff no one tells you—why cutting calories might be making things worse, how stress impacts belly fat, and why those GLP-1 weight loss drugs aren’t the magic fix they seem to be. Marcelle breaks it all down in a way that just makes sense and gives you real, doable steps to start feeling better. If you’ve been frustrated with weight loss, energy crashes, or just not feeling like yourself, this conversation is exactly what you need. Trust me, you’ll walk away with a whole new understanding of your body.

 

And if your hormones feel all over the place, I get it—I’ve been there, too. That’s why I put together my Hormone Harmony Bundle to help bring everything back into balance so you can feel like you again. No quick fixes, just real support for your body. Check it out at dranna.com/hormoneharmony and get 20% off. You deserve to feel amazing!
