You don’t need another fad diet—you need a functioning gut and a little truth serum about your metabolism.

On this episode of Moving With Meaning The Podcast, Krystal sits down with Lea Dombrowski, Holistic Nutritionist and Health Coach, to gut-check the real reasons so many women struggle with weight loss. Hint: It’s not laziness or willpower. It’s often inflammation, undiagnosed conditions like PCOS, and a whole lot of confusing diet culture BS.

Lea shares:

• 🌿 Why functional medicine looks at the why behind the weight
• 🔍 How gut health, autoimmune issues, and even acne are all connected
• 🔁 What happens when you stop overcomplicating weight loss
• 🧬 Why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to your health journey

This one’s for every woman who’s been told to “just eat less and move more.” You’ll walk away with tools, truth, and the courage to trust your own body.
