This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Paleovalley.\nContrary to popular belief, holding on to weight isn\u2019t just about a lack of willpower or not exercising enough; even genetics plays just a minor role. There are numerous other factors that influence our weight, including things like our gut microbiome, toxins, mitochondrial function, hormones, and even our social networks. But by applying the principles of Functional Medicine, we can peel back the layers to determine where the focus needs to be for each individual to support and balance their body and help them achieve a healthy weight.\nIn this episode of my Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the eight reasons we can\u2019t lose weight and how to overcome roadblocks in weight loss.\nDhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry.
