Send us Fan MailWhat does a healthy metabolism actually look like, and why does weight loss feel so much harder for some people than others?This week, we’re joined by returning guest Dr. Andrea Gri, ND, a naturopathic doctor and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner who focuses on women’s metabolic health, body composition, and healthy aging. Vic also has the pleasure of working alongside Andrea at Clarity Health, so this conversation brings together both clinical insight and the questions we hear from women all the time.We’re breaking down the difference between weight loss and body recomposition, why muscle matters so much for your metabolism, how hormones, sleep, stress, insulin resistance, and genetics can influence your results, and why the number on the scale often tells you far less than you think.We also get into food noise and appetite, GLP-1 medications, whether everyone needs to track calories, why aggressive dieting can backfire, and what sustainable weight management actually looks like when you stop chasing quick fixes and start building a strategy that works for your body.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but your body still isn’t responding the way you expected, this episode will help you zoom out, understand the bigger picture, and rethink what progress can actually look like.Find Dr. Andrea Gri on Instagram at @andrea.gri.nd and learn more about working with her at Clarity Health in Burlington, Ontario.
