Summary

Tired of conflicting and confusing health information? In this episode, nutritionist and fellow podcaster Alexa Schirm debunks some common health myths. Discover the truth about artificial sweeteners, and how to restore your metabolic function and balance your hormones without going on a diet! Let's face it, 98% of diets fail. Why? Mindset and misinformation. Diets are short term fixes based on restriction. But while we're afraid of calories, not getting enough actually does more harm than good in the long term—so much so that today's guest, Alexa Schirm, would rather people be overfed on the right foods than underfed on anything. But nutrition is only one part of the bigger picture that makes up perfect health. It's also about mindset, accepting who you are, and going for your dreams. Alexa Schirm is the force behind Simple Roots Wellness, a website dedicated to helping you find a healthy balance.
