Dr. Stacy explores the critical differences between food cravings and insatiable hunger, revealing how our biochemistry—not willpower—drives these powerful urges and impacts sustainable weight management.

• Cravings are the body's communication system telling us something is out of balance—whether blood sugar, gut health, or mineral deficiencies
• Sweet cravings typically indicate blood sugar dysregulation, metabolic inflexibility, or specific nutrient deficiencies like B vitamins, magnesium and chromium
• Salt cravings signal adrenal dysfunction, electrolyte imbalances, and cellular dehydration that plain water alone cannot fix
• Candida and fungal overgrowth hijack our glucose, directly inhibit mitochondria, and promote further sweet cravings
• Insatiable hunger often stems from leptin resistance—when high insulin blocks the "I'm full" signal from reaching the brain
• Sustainable weight loss requires becoming metabolically flexible—the ability to switch between burning sugar and fat for energy
• Building muscle mass is crucial for maintaining weight loss, as it improves glucose uptake, increases mitochondrial density, and raises metabolic rate
• The mindset for maintaining weight differs from losing it—requiring permanently raised standards and identifying with your future self
• We get the health we think we deserve—acting from self-love rather than self-hatred creates sustainable change
• Proper circadian rhythm alignment through consistent meal timing and light exposure helps regulate cortisol, blood sugar, and appetite

Fat distribution matters more than weight alone for metabolic health, with invisible fat deposits in the liver, visceral area, and muscles driving inflammation before subcutaneous fat accumulates. These hidden fat stores can cause metabolic dysfunction even in people who appear thin, with liver fat becoming problematic at just 0.5 pounds while subcutaneous fat allows up to 22 pounds before similar risks develop.

• Different fat storage locations have varying impacts on metabolic health
• Subcutaneous fat is the least inflammatory and serves as energy storage, insulation, and hormonal signaling
• Intramuscular fat directly impairs insulin sensitivity and muscle function
• Visceral/abdominal fat secretes inflammatory cytokines and correlates with stress hormones
• Liver fat most dramatically impairs metabolic function even in tiny amounts
• About 40% of people with metabolic dysfunction have no visible weight issues
• Diet composition, stress levels, movement patterns, and sleep all influence fat storage locations
• Testing options include DEXA scans, Hume Health Body Pod, liver enzymes, waist-to-hip ratio
• Building muscle, reducing refined carbs and alcohol, and managing stress reduce metabolically active fat
• Frequent urination often connects to blood sugar issues, mineral imbalances, and dehydration

In today's episode I unpack ALL things STRESS (what it does to our body long term and how it impacts everything from our behavior, to our thoughts and perceptions, and how to find what OUR bodies in particular are tagging as a threat (Hint, it could just be TOO MUCH of even a good thing!) 

With that, it is imperative to talk about the amount of  (over) information we are constantly consuming - is it helping or harming us? Could it also be contributing to the chronic stress factor?

How I navigate all of the noise, how I bridge the mind and body into a common goal with behavior, and SO much more - I hope you all LOVE it!

This information is just that; information only - not to be taken as medical advice. Please contact your primary care before changing anything to your routine. This information is not mean to diagnose, treat, or cure disease.

In today's episode, I discuss how added sugar and refined/processed foods (yes, even organic, dairy-free, and gluten-free processed foods are STILL processed and refined), still unrecognizable to the mitochondria, still void of nutrients that our gut microbime needs (like fiber!), and also causing MORE inflammation and mitochondria dysfucntion which contirbutes to all METABOLIC diseases including:

Stoke

CVD/Heart Disease/Atherosclerosis

Kidney Disease

Liver Disease and Failure, NAFLD, Cirrhosis

Diabetes

Dementia

Excess Growth/Cancer

Hyperlipedimia/Obesity

What they all have in common is that they are METABOLIC in nature, meaning you have to begin to look at what is happening in the LIVER and in the CELLS in order to prevent them. 

There is NO way we can move forward along our healing journey if we are poisoning our cells with sugar, and in the episode, I delve into the HOW and the WHY sugar does things like wreck our metabolism and mitochondria, how it causes the liver to become fat, which sets the scene for chroinc inflammation, insulin resistance, a lack of ATP (energy), and with that, mitochondira dysfunction.

I also talk about how our children are targeted in this mess, how we need to understand the limits in which their bodies can metbaolize (as far as sugar goes), how metablic issues manifest in children, and then of course - how we start supporting these thgins in our own homes (starting with what we bring into the house and what we accept as our normal when it comes to fueling our bodies.)

In today's episode, I chat about how to bring in protein, strength training, and building muscle in a supportive and intentional way (And WHY we need to always be making this our eventual goal along any healing journey).

I talk about the nuance of protein consumption, why it is not favorable to overdo it when living a sedentary lifestyle, but how to strategically increase it as the body is ready, so that we can get to a more foundational place for sustainable health. 

I also talk about how sedentary living impacts our ability to recover from workouts and how we must ease into movement gently and supportively to increase the "flow" in all systems of the body, the metabolic impact, and so much more! 

There is so much noise on these topics, but I wanted to show you what and how I support these things clinically, how important they are to incorporate eventually, and how to do so in an intentional and supportive way!

In this episode, I delve into all things ketosis, benefits of getting into it, differences among sexes, the healing benefits of achieving not only ketosis, but metabolic flexibility, and how I use it intermittently for its healing powers, but choose not to stay in it long term!

I also chat about how we not only need a FULL spectrum of light for optimized signaling and health, but also brightness to support things like mood, metabolism, and hormonal function! 

If you want to go into these things and SO much more, join my Summer Series (a collection of 8 weeks of sessions where we go into the biggest "sticking points" I see on one's healing journeys) and learn how to support these in a foundational way!

In today's episode, I talk about how the body works to heal itself (and how it compensates to do so), what systems the body enlists to try and maintain this "balance," and how symptoms start to pop up when these systems become overwhelmed. 

Balance is always key, and my hope in this episode it to shed light on something in your own day-to-day that is lacking balance in some way (especially if you are experiencing chronic symptoms in any way!)

I also mention my group programs and will link up active groups below if these resonate with you!

In today's episode, we shift the perspective on histamine issues, why we have them, what triggers them, and how we clear them - as we have to take ALL of these into consideration when treating them in a sustainable way!

We also talked about hot and cold therapies, what they are supporting, and when and how to use them appropriately. When you understand the WHY behind something, you are more likely to get better and more sustainable results from it! The only sauna I approve of for home use is Higher Dose based on the ones I have tested so far. (Use code DRSTACY)

Today, we discuss a foundational pillar when it comes to our healing potential and that is connecting to our body's biological or circadian clock.

There is nothing more stressful to the body and its healing potential than not knowing what time of day it is and we uncover all of the things that send the body mixed signals where it loses its "timing" and therefore doesn't know what program to run and when!
