“I feel like my metabolism is broken,” Liz said on our discovery call last week ”Say more,” I said ”Well, since I turned 49 last fall, it doesn’t matter what I eat or don’t eat, or how much I exercise or don’t exercise, I keep gaining weight,” she said ”I’ve tried different diets over the years. Some worked better than others, but nothing works now. The weight doesn’t budge.” ”You feel like your metabolism is broken because it seems like your body doesn’t burn calories like it used to?” I...

"I eat when I'm bored with life or life is changing in ways I don't like," Erin said That's her biggest nutrition concern at 47 and why she ended up in my online office.
