707. How To Lose Weight and Love Your Body

In this episode, K+L sit down with Michelle Shapiro, NYC based functional registered dietitian and expert in helping women “lose weight lovingly.” Michelle gives us the lowdown on all things weight loss – including how our childhood impacts food addictions, why emotional pain causes us to gain, and so much more.  Ahead, Michelle explains why the “set point theory” keeps our bodies from losing weight and what we can do to shift it. She also explains the connection between blood sugar dysregulation, inflammation, and weight gain, giving practical tips on how to stabilize it.  If you’re fighting with your body or just plain lost in a world of fad diets, Michelle is here to tell you exactly what you need to hear: that reclaiming your health and feeling amazing in your body is possible and can actually be fun, too! We also talk about: How irregular eating patterns impact metabolism GLP-1 medications and their market influence Pharmaceutical + food industries' societal implications The complexity of body acceptance vs. weight loss desires Nutritional tips + the effects of different types of dietary fats Histamine intolerance + its relation to physiological anxiety Strategies for stabilizing blood sugar + cortisol levels Resources: Website: https://michelleshapirord.com/ Podcast: Quiet The Diet Instagram: @michelleshapirord Sponsors: Lolavie | Check out all LolaVie products at your local Ulta Beauty location to experience the luxurious scent for yourself, or head directly to their website at lolavie.com.
