Our genes can make us more likely to gain weight, but the choices we make about what we eat and how active we are also matter. Our body sends signals to our brain to tell us when we're hungry or full, and these signals can be influenced by hormones in our body. It's important to pay attention to these signals and make choices that are good for our health. Regular exercise is important for staying healthy, but it might not be the best way to lose weight. By understanding how our body works and making good choices, we can stay healthy and feel good.

In this episode, Arina is joined by her close friend and successful YouTuber Sasha Spielberg. Sasha shares her journey of overcoming overeating and changing her approach to health and wellness with the help of Arina.

Difficulties in our careers can cause emotional stress, which can lead to overeating. Focusing on what we can control in a situation and letting go of the feeling that we have to do things perfectly is an important first step to relieving some of the stressers that can cause us to overeat.
