Unlock the Hidden Hormone Sabotaging Your Clients’ Weight Loss Efforts

In this episode of Reinvent Healthcare, I talk about one of the most common yet overlooked factors preventing people from shedding excess weight. Often, despite cutting calories, increasing exercise, and following traditional weight-loss advice, people struggle to see results. The missing link? Listen to the full episode to find out.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The anabolic nature of this hormone and how it contributes to fat storage instead of fat burning.
  • Why certain tests are crucial for understanding a client’s weight loss resistance.
  • The often-ignored relationship between these two hormones and how it impacts fat loss and muscle maintenance.
  • How to use Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) to track blood sugar and predict the level of this hormone, even though CGMs don’t directly measure it.
  • The real reason why the “eat less, exercise more” advice doesn’t work for everyone—and what to do instead.
  • Practical tips on implementing a 30-day metabolic reset to help balance hormones and jumpstart fat loss.
  • Why spacing meals 4–6 hours apart (and avoiding grazing) works better for weight loss success.
