NMLP EP 152 : Weight Stigmas
Nutrition's My Life Podcast
Weight stigmas According to many health professionals (ahmmm doctors!) If you're in a bigger body- all your health problems are because of your weight. If you're in a bigger body- you must be gorging yourself with food all day long.

This could be either 180g of protein to try to eat (wowzas)...

NMLP EP 149 : Carbs
Nutrition's My Life Podcast
The topic of carbs (carbohydrates) have been in the conversation of half my patients lately and it was time for me to help you out again with understanding carbs and why we need them.. Are you on a weight loss journey? > you need carbs for T4 to T3 conversion (T3 is the active thyroid hormone and without adequate carbs, your best chance of having a metabolism you want is taken away from you as the body does not want to convert T4 to T3 when there are not enough carbs present) Constantly exhausted? > you may be only filling up your gas tank a quarter of the way and expecting your...
