A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion

A sneaky factor behind our obesity explosion

  Here’s an eye-opening statistic--currently, nearly eight out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese. And those numbers are not going down. Of course, the begging question here is: What in the world is going on? Why is it our “new normal” to be overweight?

So you go to the doctor and after having bloodwork, you’re told there’s nothing wrong.  Um, OK, but why do I feel this way?? After some time, your problems worsened!  Eventually you...

Putting on weight and have no energy?  This may be why.

Putting on weight and have no energy? This may be why.

  Two of the most common concerns people report to their doctors are lacking energy and gaining weight.    This Nutrition coach hears a lot of that too.  But the problem is that trying to pinpoint the underlying cause of low energy and packing on pounds is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.  Could it be your thyroid?  Menopause? Nutrient deficiencies?  Depression?  Medication side effects?  Not exercising enough?  All good possibilities.  But one...
