Summary

It’s becoming more and more evident there are a host of things women are dealing with that not only destroy our bodies, but they also destroy our confidence and ability to show up and go as hard as we want. Dr. Gabrielle Lyons, a functional medicine physician and muscle-centric advocate for metabolic health and longevity, shares startling data that 73% of people are either overweight or obese. If you’re a woman dealing with PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and gut issues, chances are you are absolutely struggling with your weight. This episode is for you today if you’ve been fixated and obsessing over cutting calories, doing more cardio, and resorting to starving during the day only to binge eat at night. Let's be honest, there’s a bunch of crap being marketed to us and deciphering reliable information from BS myths and none-evidence-based beliefs shared from ulterior motives and political agendas is making a lot of people feel hopeless, overwhelmed and confused. Let’s end that crap right here. Key areas of re-information we’re focusing on in this episode include: Cycles of crash dieting are absolutely destroying your health Move away from the fat phobic model to an empowering muscle centric model  Health at any size is devastating people and is not that same as loving yourself Follow Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: Website: https://drgabriellelyon.com/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWPQJeWz4pvccA3lIoZ7j1Q  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drgabriellelyon  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon/  Podcast: https://drgabriellelyon.com/podcast/  Download For FREE: The Most Important Questions You MUST Ask Your Partner here! - https://bit.ly/3dWyB2d Check out my FREE 4-Part Confidence Workshop! - https://bit.ly/3fZcbO5 Sponsors: Visit http://www.srimu.com/lisa to unlock 10% off artisanally crafted NOT cheeses made with plant based ingredients for a delicious new take on the cheeses you adore!
