#1: How I Got Here

In this first episode of Wellness with Serena, I’m sharing why this podcast exists, and why so many women feel stuck, bloated, and frustrated despite “doing all the right things.”We talk about why restrictive dieting, pushing harder, and constantly trying to control food often backfires.. and what actually needs to shift for healthy weight balance to feel possible and sustainable.You’ll learn:Why bloating, fatigue, and stubborn weight are often signs your body needs support, not more disciplineHow gut health and nervous system regulation influence weight loss far more than calories aloneWhat a Mediterranean-inspired way of eating really looks like — beyond trends or rulesWhy losing weight the same way you keep it off is the key to long-term resultsHow to begin creating food freedom without letting go of your goalsThis episode sets the foundation for everything we’ll explore on the podcast, whole foods, high-quality proteins, fibre, healthy fats, lifestyle, stress management, and a calmer relationship with food and your body.If you’ve tried everything and still feel like something isn’t clicking, this episode will help you see why, and show you a gentler, more effective way forward.Press play, take a breath, and welcome to Wellness with Serena.
