The second half of the conversation about weight gain and weight loss resistance has to be centered around female hormones because they are so incredibly important to you finding and staying at your body's ideal weight.  So, I'm taking the whole episode to talk about every little thing that could be going wrong with your hormones that may be hindering your weight loss efforts, even with a ketogenic diet.

TOPICS:

• Why estrogen dominance is so common and what you can do about it.
• How both low and high cortisol play into weight management.
• What is PCOS and how to heal and reverse it.

In reading all of the awesome questions I've been getting from listeners, it became clear that many women are struggling to see the weight loss they had hoped for with a ketogenic diet. There are many stories of weight gain with the diet switch, initial weight loss at first followed by plateaus, or just no change at all. 

So, I sat down and came up with a huge list of reasons why women can't lose, gain, or have weight loss plateaus, even on a keto diet. 

This topic is so big I had to split it up into two episodes! This episode covers possible dietary culprits, issues in the GI tract, stress impacts, and mindset shifts.

It's the first of many episodes of "Real-Life Keto" which is a segment of the Keto For Women Show that will focus on real women living a real life using a ketogenic diet, having success and maybe even some failures, but learning along the way. Now, we can use the lessons these women have learned to guide our own keto journey.

Today, we have Leah Hosburgh, a mom of two little boys, former competitive Crossfitter, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and recovering chronic dieter. Leah began her ketogenic journey as a member of The Fat Burning Female Project while she was breastfeeding. This was also the time in her life where she was finally able to stop dieting, measuring and weighing food, and just eat intuitively for health and freedom for both herself and her family.
