In this video, Dr. Gajer dives deep into the root causes of the obesity epidemic and why simply counting calories is not the solution. While “calories in, calories out” was a popular theory in the 1970s, it overlooks critical factors like metabolism, insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances that play major roles in weight gain. We explore the impact of ultra-processed foods, poor sleep, chronic stress, gut health, and environmental chemicals (obesogens) on metabolism, offering a more comprehensive understanding of why weight loss can be so challenging. Learn how to take small steps towards a healthier metabolism and weight management by prioritizing whole foods, fiber, and healthy lifestyle habits.
