Christine Trimpe was morbidly obese, pre-diabetic, and couldn't walk a half-mile mountain trail. Ten years later, she's lost over 100 pounds, reversed fatty liver disease and sleep apnea, and coaches thousands of women through metabolic healing - all by quitting sugar.

In this episode, Christine shares her turning point moment on a Rocky Mountain trail, how discovering Dr. Jason Fung's work changed everything, why "everything in moderation" is the most dangerous dietary advice, and the surprising role that joy plays in metabolic recovery.

We also discuss:
- How sugar is a major hormone disruptor and the root cause of fatty liver disease
- Why sugar addiction has physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions
- The circadian rhythm hacks (morning sunlight, blue light blockers, early eating windows) that transformed her sleep
- Why keto gets a bad rap and what it actually looks like in practice
- The "everything in moderation" myth and why it leads to relapse
- Her take on GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic) for weight loss
- Real coaching success stories: 100+ pound weight loss, 5K runs, and life transformations
- What she'd do differently if she could restart her journey today
- Why midlife metabolism isn't doomed - she reached her healthy weight right before her 50th birthday
