Host Amber Warren and guest, Dr. Mark Holthouse, explore a functional, root-cause approach to metabolic weight loss, going beyond the outdated “calories in, calories out” model. They discuss why weight loss resistance is rarely about willpower and how hormones, cortisol, gut health, muscle mass, and environmental factors influence metabolism.

The episode highlights FMI’s Premier Metabolic Reset program, responsible use of GLP-1s and peptides, and the importance of protein, body composition, and practical lifestyle strategies for sustainable fat loss. A concise, science-backed conversation on achieving long-term metabolic health through personalized functional medicine care.
