100 Pounds Lost After 50 with Keto and Functional Nutrition | Lori Balue

📣 Lori Balue spent nearly two decades on a diet roller coaster — battling obesity, pre-diabetes, depression, and asthma — before discovering keto in her 50s and losing 100 pounds for good. As a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and founder of the Holistic Low-Carb Method, she now helps women over 50 find and clear the hidden metabolic blocks keeping them stuck.📋 Robyn talks with Lori about a journey that started in childhood with food addiction and weight struggles, moved through decades of failed low-calorie diets, and finally found traction when Lori stopped treating symptoms and started investigating root causes. They get into the three-year weight loss stall that digestive enzymes eventually broke, the role of functional labs in uncovering food sensitivities and hormone imbalances, and why getting protein, minerals, and amino acids right can turn off cravings and lift depression in ways willpower never could.🔑 What You'll LearnWhy low-calorie diets can produce weight loss without ever reducing inflammation or resolving chronic illnessHow digestive enzymes, food sensitivity testing, and functional labs can break a weight loss stall when keto alone isn't enoughWhy protein timing and amino acid therapy are key to eliminating cravings and supporting mood in women over 50How grounding, sunlight, and circadian rhythm became the final piece of Lori's 100-pound weight lossWhat the Holistic Low-Carb Method looks like in practice and how Lori uses diagnostic labs to personalize every client's protocol💡 Key Insight"Get into action.
