Ep. 37 - Why Most Women Struggle With Weight Loss (And How to Fix It) | Patricia Ivory
Most women are told the same story about weight loss: eat less, move more, and try harder. But for many, especially as hormones shift, that advice doesn’t work—and it leaves them frustrated, exhausted, and blaming themselves.
In this episode, Dr. James Adkins sits down with Coach Patricia to uncover what’s really happening inside women’s bodies. From estrogen dominance and cycle training to the truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT), Patricia explains why weight loss is more of a puzzle than a one-size-fits-all formula.
You’ll hear:
→ Why “food is medicine” is more than a catchphrase
→ The truth about HRT and why so many women are still afraid of it
→ How blood work changes the way you should train and eat
→ The overlooked role of gut health and liver function in weight loss
→ Practical advice women can use right now to feel stronger and more in control
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing everything right” but not seeing results, this conversation will change the way you look at health and fitness.
