Today I have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer to discuss metabolism, cravings and detoxification.
We discuss the importance of identifying root causes for lasting health improvements, and why thyroid health alone is rarely the full answer to weight loss struggles.
Plus Dr. H’s top three often-overlooked reasons for slow metabolism, including:
Elevated inflammation: How to test it and why it mattersSuboptimal insulin sensitivity: What lab results can reveal before blood sugar issues ariseGunked up detox pathways: the body naturally cleanses itself and why most marketed "detox" products aren’t necessary.As the holidays approach, Lisa and Dr. Meyer discuss effective strategies for managing cravings and blood sugar to stay in control while enjoying seasonal treats.
BONUS! Dr. H and I continued chatting and ended up recording a BONUS AUDIO for you! Grab that HERE if you want to hear us discuss specifically how to address the inflammation she indicates is a big reason for slow metabolism.

Don’t you want to talk about pooping? I know, I know–just the episode you’ve been waiting for!
In all seriousness, this is such an important topic. Pooping is one of the main ways we naturally detoxify our body. It’s literally the body’s pathway for getting rid of what we don’t need. We’ve got to poop regularly to be healthy and lose weight.
But sometimes things don’t just come out right! Whether this isa n every once in a while problem for you or it’s chronic, my guest Melissa Hall Klepacki will break down the root causes for constipation and what to actually do about it.

Is intermittent fasting right for you? If you’re a woman, you may want to think twice. My guest today is Jillian Greaves, Functional Dietitian and Women's health specialist. We discuss why a one-size-fits-all approach—like intermittent fasting—can be harmful, especially for women.
You’ll learn why the research behind intermittent fasting often doesn't apply to women and how ignoring your body’s signals can disrupt hormones like cortisol and kisspeptin, affecting everything from insulin sensitivity to appetite regulation.

That pesky lower brain–she’s always showing up where she’s not welcome! Do you find your lower brain shows up at particular times or in particular situations?
I’ve identified 7 times you can expect your lower brain to show up. Why do we need to know this? Because when we expect it to happen, we can be prepared with strategies. If you are surprised that you are being hit with cravings or self-sabotaging thoughts, it’s much tougher to overcome in the moment.
And don’t worry–if you don’t know what I mean by “lower brain,” I’ll define that for you in this episode as well!

What’s for dinner? The perpetual question that has to get answered day in and day out. And for many of my clients, solving this question ends up on their plates.
We know that cooking from home is actually a health habit that can improve diet quality, help with weight loss, and prevent diabetes. Harvard Health notes that teaching people to cook from home can even be considered a medical intervention. (see this article)
I brought Mel Gunnell from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe on the podcast to help us figure out how to get dinner on the table every night. We chat about some easy semi-homemade shortcuts and the real key for both of us to being able to cook more often than not.More from Well with Lisa:

“So many options, how do I know what will work for me-I have tried everything!
This week’s episode is a detailed response to this question. I did a content survey in January (missed that but have a question–tap HERE to participate) and this was one response I got.
If you feel like you’ve tried it all and just can’t quite figure out why nothing works, this is the episode for you. I’m going to help you figure out why diets in the past didn’t work and I’ll give you an exercise to think through what could work better in the future.
Remember that weight loss is not a lifelong pursuit. But maintaining that weight loss is. That will be the key to figuring out what works.

There’s a big difference between WHAT to think and HOW to think. When you learn to think of yourself as the solution–that really is the secret to life.
This episode will teach you how to recognize that you can utilize yourself, you can rely on yourself, you can trust yourself to actually be the solution to every single problem, every single obstacle, and every single goal you have. Tracy gives four simple steps for this, using the SELF framework.

Despite the fact that I’m a “weight loss coach,” I actually love telling people they can improve their health and fitness without acknowledging their body weight.
This is precisely the message from my guest Michael Ulloa. He says, “That's not to say that losing weight won't improve health markers. It can. But if you're someone who has for so long been obsessed with weight loss, and that's what all of your behaviors and habits are tailored towards, separate yourself from that for a little bit, just actually focus on the habits and behaviors that will improve your health, and that's when the magic happens.”
We want more magic happening right? Listen in to our conversation and let me know what you think!

Are you currently or considering taking a GLP-1 drug to help you lose weight? These include the semaglutide (like Ozempic and Wegovy) and tirzepatide (like Mounjaro and Zepbound).
What happens if you want to wean off? This is precisely the question we set out to answer in this week’s episode. Of course not everyone that uses these medications has the desire to wean off. And that’s ok. But if you are thinking you’d like to try a weight loss medication, but are worried about the after effects, this episode is for you!
Even if weight loss medication isn’t your jam, this episode is all about weight loss truths, whether you are taking a medication or not.

Today we're diving into a transformative conversation with fellow health and weight loss coach, Esther Avant. We explore the pervasive "all or nothing" mentality that often plagues our health journeys. Do you ever feel like you're either fully committed or not trying at all? You're not alone. Esther and I discuss how this mindset can hinder long-term success and offer strategies to break free from it.
In this episode, we go beyond the typical advice of starting small (although that's there too!). We introduce concepts like "compassionate ownership" and "the very next bite," emphasizing the importance of self-love and understanding in your weight loss journey. We discuss the importance of setting realistic goals, recognizing the value of incremental progress, and the crucial practice of treating yourself with kindness through the process. Whether you're on the road to losing weight or simply looking to build healthier habits, this conversation is packed with insights to help you approach your journey with a balanced, sustainable mindset. Join us as we delve into the keys to overcoming the all-or-nothing trap and embracing a healthier, more compassionate way to achieve your goals.
