707. How To Lose Weight and Love Your Body
Almost 30
The Weight-Loss Conversation and Stigma
Michelle addresses cultural backlash against weight loss and defends bodily autonomy and compassionate goals.
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!
