Holistic Approach to Health: The episode emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to health that goes beyond just physical aspects. This includes managing stress, supporting gut health, and fostering body literacy. By cultivating a deeper understanding of your body and its needs, you can better support your hormonal health and metabolism, ultimately aiding in fat loss and overall wellness.The conversation touches on the complex interplay of various hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones, and how they can affect fat loss.
