Episode 41: Why is it SO hard to lose weight?

Do you ever feel like you’re doing all the right things, and the number on the scale won’t budge?Are you tempted to try the latest weight loss trends like shots, pills, shakes, powders, or potions, but are worried about the cost, side effects, long-term risks?  Or maybe you’re just skeptical that they won’t work in the long run?   You are not alone, and as a woman in my midseason of life, I can definitely relate and empathize, and also as a nurse practitioner in primary care, I hear it all day long.  Almost everyone is trying to lose weight these days.   And it’s not only difficult, but also very multifactorial and complex, which is why it is so difficult, and can't be solved in a 20 minute office visit.   Today, we’ll be covering the real reasons why weight loss feels so hard, the misinformation and also information overload, some real talk, and what actually matters when it comes to living a healthy, fit, and rewarding life that feels good. If you are loving this podcast, please share, rate and review, and also make sure you are following the show wherever you listen to your podcasts.
