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.
