With over 15 years of experience blending Eastern and Western approaches, Dr. Woodley shares how her personal journey led her to focus on holistic pet care, particularly the critical role of gut health.

In this insightful episode, I sit down with Vince Pitstick, founder of Vidal Coaching and creator of the 4F Process™, a leader in functional medicine and health coaching. With over 19 years of experience, Vince has dedicated his career to helping people understand their bodies better and find lasting solutions to health challenges.

During this discussion, we dissect many misconceptions about weight loss and metabolism, and why people's approaches often fail. Vince explains why many people are stuck in a cycle of continual resolutions that don’t work, and how diet culture has contributed to these struggles. He also discusses how restrictive dieting and a history of unhealthy weight loss practices can have lasting impacts on metabolism.

Some of what's covered:

• Why the "eat less, move more" approach doesn’t always work and can backfire
• The science behind adaptive thermogenesis and its impact on your metabolism
• The role of inflammation and oxidative stress in metabolic health
• How insulin and leptin are critical hormones for fat metabolism but are often overlooked in common conversations about weight loss
• The difference of holding versus building muscle for metabolic health and why muscle loss contributes to metabolic dysfunction
• Emotional/mental health struggles and how trauma can impact our goals.
• Practical approaches to reset your metabolism
• The potential benefits and misuse of GLP-1s (like Ozempic) as a temporary tool to help heal metabolism
