In this very fun episode, I sit down with the man, the myth, the legend that is Joel Greene - CEO of VEEP Nutrition and author of "The Immunity Code" and "The Way", for an absolutely incredible conversation about how to lose weight and keep it off for life. We dive deep into both of our personal weight-loss journeys, what actually worked, and how we’ve each kept the weight off for almost 20 years without extreme dieting or damaging approaches. In this episode, we cover: ✔️ How fat cells really work and why this understanding changes everything ✔️ Why you MUST understand inflammation and its role in body weight ✔️ Why yo-yo dieting makes long-term weight loss harder ✔️ The role of the extracellular matrix and collagen in fat loss ✔️ Why polyphenols are essential for sustained weight loss and metabolic health ✔️ How glycine supports weight regulation and recovery ✔️ The truth about rebound weight gain and why it happens ✔️ What extreme dieting does to your metabolism and thyroid ✔️ The surprising lessons from The Biggest Loser ✔️ Practical hacks and strategies we both use to stay lean year after year And lots more! If you’ve ever struggled with getting and keeping weight off, dealing with plateaus, or bouncing back after dieting, this conversation will empower you with tools and science-backed insights you can start using right away. And we would love to hear your questions and feedback in the comments.
