Dr. Kellee Rutley explains fat loss, ketosis, and how understanding hunger, cravings, and wanting supports sustainable weight loss and long-term health.

In this episode, Dr. Kellee Rutley joins Dr. Carolynn Francavilla to explore why fat loss is foundational to health. Dr. Rutley explains the difference between hunger, cravings, and wanting, how metabolic dysfunction fuels food noise, and why shifting the body to burn fat can transform energy, mood, and long-term outcomes. She emphasizes using tools—nutrition, ketosis, and medications—with intention, always guided by a clear health destination.
