In this episode of Everyday Health Stories, we uncover the fascinating science behind why weight loss can be so challenging to maintain. Dr. Kota Reddy and Anna explore the concept of "hidden fat cell memory," a phenomenon where fat cells retain an epigenetic imprint of obesity, making it easier to regain weight even after significant loss. Learn how this memory affects your metabolism, hormones, and cravings, and discover practical strategies—like anti-inflammatory diets, exercise, intermittent fasting, and stress management—to fight back against the dreaded yo-yo effect. Whether you're on a weight loss journey or just curious about the science of fat cells, this episode is packed with insights to help you better understand your body and health.
