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.
