Episode 57 - Is Birth Control Blocking Your Weight Loss?
Are Baby Blockers Blocking Your Fat Loss Potential?
So many women are putting in a TON of hard work: hitting their workouts, nailing their nutrition- doing ALL the things to lose weight, but they never seem to drop despite their best efforts. With all of the work put in- is medication to blame? Specifically: is birth control getting in the way of controlling your rate of fat loss?
I am joined by my friend, colleague, and fellow fitness fanatic Adam Atkinson, founder and CEO of See You Later Leaner.
Adam has had a passion for fitness and bodybuilding since he was a child. He joined his dad, an avid lifter and fitness enthusiast, in creating their own home gym and has never looked back. After lifting and competing for many years he took the next step to turn his love of the sport into a career. After training at the local YMCA for a short time, Adam became a certified personal trainer with ISSA, going on later to found the Leaner Lab.
*Special gratitude for Dr. Kevin Brunacini, DNP, APRN, who greatly contributed to the content and resources for the material covered in this episode!
