Summary
Subscribe to my YouTube channel so you never miss an episode! Most people eating "clean" all day are still stuck in fat-storage mode and have no idea why. My guest this week is Shana Hussin, a registered dietitian with 26 years in the field who left the conventional system after watching her clients get sicker, not better, on standard advice. She walked away from what she was trained to teach. Then she figured out what was actually keeping people stuck. We discuss the things nobody else does: how eating "healthy" foods 13 times a day keeps insulin elevated, why your morning fast might be wrecking your cortisol, and why so many women doing all the right things still can't lose weight. Shana also opens up about her son's ulcerative colitis diagnosis and the moment she realized the food list she was handed in the hospital was making things worse. If you've ever felt like your body stopped responding to the rules you've been following, this conversation explains why.
