The unfortunate truth is that most weight-loss strategies don’t work long term, and some can even make matters worse when it comes to our health and hormones. Anyone who has ever dieted and has had those lost pounds return, knows the frustration that can bring. Most of us assume the reason is just a lack of discipline or a failure of willpower. We don't always realize that it could be linked to hormone imbalance.In this episode, Cody speaks with Dr. Jessie Hehmeyer, the physician founder of Well Empowered where she practices data-driven, outcome-oriented Functional Medicine. In this episode, we discuss how you can improve your lifestyle and nutrition to positively benefit your health and/or weight loss goals with a root-cause, natural medicine approach. Dr. H created Well Empowered with one commitment in mind: Guiding you to create the health and vitality that transforms your experience of life and alters what is possible for you. Through working one-on-one, with groups, or in delivering corporate webinars, Dr. H provides the information, inspiration and strategies needed to produce sustainable and transformative health outcomes. Dr. H earned her Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States, Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine from National University of Health Sciences, and Bachelor of Arts from UCLA.
