The Thriving Metabolism: Weight Loss Beyond Diets
The Thriving Metabolism: Weight Loss Beyond Diets with Louise Digby is the podcast where nutrition, education, science, metabolism, and hormones meet. Weight loss is so much more than the mere calculation of calories in V calories out. What's always ignored are the internal factors that influence an individual's capacity to burn calories. Join BANT registered nutritional therapist and weight loss expert Louise Digby as we explore the nuances around metabolic health, hormones, gut health, and more in the context of weight loss.

Same Steps, Different Outcomes: Tackling Menopausal Weight Gain

Louise Digby explains why two women can eat and exercise similarly yet see completely different fat loss results, arguing that the difference is not discipline or effort but how each body responds internally. Using two client examples, she describes “invisible variables” that affect progress, including blood sugar responses, stress load, sleep, digestion and nutrient absorption, inflammation, hormonal signalling, and nutrient status. She also discusses genetics as a factor that interacts with environment, and how a history of dieting, stress and poor recovery can make the body more protective and resistant to weight loss. Louise encourages shifting from pushing harder to understanding what the body needs to feel stable, supported and safe enough to respond.
