Happy New Year. I hope that you rung in the new year with a bang. I hope you're feeling refreshed and

rejuvenated or ready to go for 2025. I know I'm super excited to bring a whole new year of

podcast episodes to you. I have some amazing guests coming up. I'm super excited to have a hormone

specialist coming on this month and then another doctor on a different topic

towards the end of the month. So I'm really excited for a new year with new learning and new time

for us to learn and grow together and just kind of simplify fitness and make it easy for each

of us in our situations. Now, this episode might be a little bit different, but I wanted to shed a different

when I read this study at the end of 2024, I'm not going to lie, I read it like three times

to make sure that I understood it it because my mind was blown away.

It was blown away because I think often we link highly processed foods, really, really alter

processed foods as being the culprit of waking because of just the fat content or the sugar

content or the salt content.

But this study showed it is so much more than that. It's not just

about that. It is so much more. And I'm going to dive deep into it. I'm going to break it down.

And I want you to know that this episode is not about me telling you what you can't have the

rest of your life. This is simply to raise awareness and help you kind of mix and match and

figure out what works for you.

And I will give ideas at the end of kind of how to adjust as we talk about processed foods versus

ultra-process foods and what could actually be causing us to overeat or to gain weight as a factor

we might not even be aware of. So let's get into it. I'm really excited to share this.
