## Resource

Functional medicine practitioner Elizabeth Aylor joins Michele Scarlet to uncover the hidden connection between gut health, hormones, chronic stress, inflammation, and stubborn weight gain in women. This episode dives into bloating, fatigue, brain fog, nervous system dysregulation, thyroid dysfunction, mold toxicity, metabolism issues, and why extreme dieting and overtraining often make women feel worse, not better. If you feel exhausted, inflamed, hormonally imbalanced, or stuck in a body that no longer responds the way it used to, this conversation will completely change how you view healing, metabolism, and sustainable fat loss.
