Focus on getting healthy to lose weight, not losing weight to get healthy!

Obesity and/or difficulties with maintaining a healthy weight is a symptom of underlying inflammation and imbalance. Rather than focusing solely on weight loss and the number on the scale, focus on controllable factors I discuss in this episode: growing muscle mass, adequate protein intake, proper nutrition, a consistent sleep schedule, managing stress, and so much more.
