Your clients eat full meals, yet cravings persist. Nighttime snacking, blood sugar swings, and constant hunger aren’t willpower. They’re signals. Appetite is controlled by a complex network of hormones, the nervous system, gut, microbiome, muscle, and nutrient status.
In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo explains why focusing on a single hormone like GLP-1 isn’t enough. She shows how to identify the patterns driving overeating, cravings, and metabolic dysregulation, so you can address the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
