Why Fad Diets Destroy Your Hormones (And Why Curiosity Beats Willpower) | Nan Saysana Part 2

from Your Health Reclaimed: Exposing The Root Causes Of Lyme & Chronic Illness So You Can Finally Heal

After 30 years of dieting, Nan Saysana discovered the truth: Willpower isn't the problem. Your hormones are.When you restrict calories to 1200 per day, you're not on a diet, you're in starvation mode. Your body panics and stores EVERYTHING as fat. Even when you quit eating.This episode reveals why every fad diet (Keto, Paleo, Carnivore) fails the same way, and why your emotional eating isn't a character flaw, it's your brain's survival mechanism.What This Episode Covers:How extreme calorie restriction triggers hormonal dysregulation (thyroid, reproductive hormones, leptin/ghrelin)Why dieting loses 33 pounds of muscle but only 2 pounds of fat (the real tragedy)The toxic oil industry secret: cottonseed oil in 90% of fried foods (and why it destroys hormones)Why 1200 calories = starvation mode (and how your body responds)The binge-restrict cycle: Why Monday diets fail by WednesdayHow fad diets like Keto kill people (the science is damning)Why Paleo and Carnivore damage your health (pH imbalance, fiber deficiency, rectal fissures)The emotional root behind 95% of overeating (it's NOT about cupcakes)Why Mediterranean women have different health outcomes (clean olive oil + whole foods)The "curiosity not fury" breakthrough that changes everythingHow self-compassion REWIRES your brain for lasting changeThe triggers: Boredom, stress, loneliness, anxiety (not hunger)Why you can't outrun a bad diet: The hormonal truthThe Real Solution:Stop treating the symptom (what you eat). Start addressing the root cause (why you eat). When you're bored, stressed, or lonely, that's when real change begins. Not with willpower. With curiosity.This isn't about diet perfection. It's about emotional intelligence.Nan transformed from a frustrated teacher struggling with food for 30 years to a life coach helping thousands break the diet cycle. Her message: Be curious, not furious with yourself.Your hormones aren't broken. Your diet strategy is.Work with a life coach specializing in food psychology: Nan Saysana coaching.-------------------00:00 The Impact of Food Quality on Health04:09 Understanding Protein Sources and Nutritional Balance07:02 The Dangers of Processed Foods and Herbicides10:54 The Impact of Oils on Health14:21 The Flaws of Popular Diets20:13 Emotional Eating and Its Triggers25:00 Cultivating Curiosity Over Self-Criticism-------------------Share this with someone stuck in the diet cycle.
