What if everything you've been told about weight loss and hormone health is actually making you sicker? That's the question at the heart of this powerful conversation with hormone health coach Naihomy Jerez, who transformed her own health after having children and facing the same struggles many women experience.

Naihomy dismantles the most pervasive myth in women's health: that eating less leads to weight loss. She explains why this approach backfires for so many women, triggering stress hormones that actually cause the body to hold onto weight. "Your body is just receiving chemical messages," she explains. "It doesn't know that you're safe and just stressed about an email instead of being chased by a bear."

The discussion explores how our modern sedentary lifestyles require completely different nutritional approaches than previous generations. Where our immigrant parents worked physically demanding jobs requiring substantial calories, many of us now move from "bed to desk to couch and back." This fundamental shift means we need to be intentional about both movement and nutrition in ways our parents never had to consider.

Most refreshingly, Naihomy offers practical, sustainable solutions that don't involve deprivation or perfectionism. From making simple food swaps to reframing how we view the scale, she provides actionable steps for women feeling exhausted, bloated, and disconnected from their bodies. She also candidly shares the mindset shift required to prioritize health despite social pressure: "You have to want it so bad that you cannot give a fuck about what other people are going to say."

Whether you're struggling with weight, hormonal imbalances, or simply feeling overwhelmed by contradictory health advice, this episode offers a compassionate, evidence-based perspective that honors the complexity of women's bodies.
