Welcome to Ellie's Spring Forward series where she revisits some of her most popular episodes that will help put winter behind you.

The conversation about it has gotten so heated that many are left confused, frustrated and vulnerable.
In this episode, Dr. Michelle Cardel, a Puerto Rican nutrition scientist, registered dietitian, the Senior Director of Global Clinical Research & Nutrition at WW, and a faculty member at the University of Florida College of Medicine, where she is also an Associate Director for the Center for Integrative Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases, helps us figure it out, encouraging us to rethink how we think about weight, and assess whether we want to think about it at all.
