Let\\u2019s end the debate: which matters, calories or hormones? And dig into why they both matter and some strategies that actually work when you\\u2019re trying to lose body fat with wonky hormones.\\xa0

\\xa0

Now I\\u2019m not going to say it\\u2019s always easy or it is always even worth it to you, but there are a few things that we want to remember if we\\u2019re frustrated trying to move the needle with our weight loss goals. In this episode I talk about the biggest mistakes I see women (including myself) make when it comes to estimating their calories or macros, why just addressing calories or macros alone doesn\'t work well for many women (and what works better) as well as some tips and tools for both nutrition and exercise to work with particularly challenging hormones issues like cortisol, thyroid, insulin resistance and of course perimenopause/menopause.\\xa0

\\xa0

And tune back in for the next episodes where I answer questions on fat loss from you the listeners! In that episode we get into more nitty gritty when it comes to Hashimoto\\u2019s, low thyroid, insulin and of course that frustrating decline of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone that comes in mid-life.\\xa0

With your body being 50% amino acids plus the uphill battle most women face after age 30 to hold on to their lean mass, using a properly blended, complete amino acid blend like those from KION will be a game changer for your health, energy and metabolism. Learn more and save a generous 20% off one of my favorite new products: the Kion Aminos.\\xa0

One of THE BEST tools for your health is a CGM, continuous glucose monitor. It helps you effortlessly understand what foods work for you and even how stress and sleep impact your blood sugar allowing you to make changes in real time. A CGM also allows you to see your glucose variability (the difference between your highs and lows) which may be as important as how high your blood sugar runs. It\\u2019s an amazing tool and Nutrisense has my favorite interface with their app and dietitian support! It\\u2019s easy and straightforward and with code BETTEREVERYDAY at checkout you can save 30% off a subscription. Click here and be well on your way to better health.\\xa0
