Today I have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer to discuss metabolism, cravings and detoxification.

We discuss the importance of identifying root causes for lasting health improvements, and why thyroid health alone is rarely the full answer to weight loss struggles.

Plus Dr. H’s top three often-overlooked reasons for slow metabolism, including:

• Elevated inflammation: How to test it and why it matters
• Suboptimal insulin sensitivity: What lab results can reveal before blood sugar issues arise
• Gunked up detox pathways: the body naturally cleanses itself and why most marketed "detox" products aren’t necessary.

As the holidays approach, Lisa and Dr. Meyer discuss effective strategies for managing cravings and blood sugar to stay in control while enjoying seasonal treats.

BONUS! Dr. H and I continued chatting and ended up recording a BONUS AUDIO for you! Grab that HERE if you want to hear us discuss specifically how to address the inflammation she indicates is a big reason for slow metabolism.

Welcome to another holiday-themed episode of Eat Well, Think Well, Live Well! 🎄 As we enter the season of back-to-back celebrations, are you already dreading the effects of holiday foods and endless parties on your health goals? You’re not alone!

In this episode, I’m sharing practical, sustainable strategies to help you navigate the holidays without throwing in the towel on your health. These six healthy habits will keep you from feeling deprived or overindulging so you can enjoy the season without regret—or weight gain.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Get Honest About Your Calendar – Discover how holiday commitments might not be as overwhelming as they seem and how planning can make all the difference.
• Prioritize Sleep – Learn why sleep is your secret weapon for avoiding cravings and how it can support emotional resilience during stressful times.
• Ditch the Scarcity Mindset – We’ll discuss how to let go of the “limited-time-only” mentality around food, which only leads to overeating.
• Make Buffets Manageable – Tips for choosing and enjoying foods without feeling the need to try everything.
• Focus on People, Not Plates – Refocus your holiday gatherings on the people around you, not just the food in front of you.
• Get Support – How teaming up with a friend or working with a coach can help you stay accountable and focused on your long-term goals.

The holidays don’t have to derail your health, and with a little preparation and intention, you can start the New Year 5 lbs down instead of your traditional 5 lbs up!

Tune in to learn how to truly enjoy the season and take care of yourself along the way. Plus, don’t miss my final tip on the value of getting support.
