Join e Dr. Maria Iliakova and Tammie Lakose, as they delve into the intricate web of factors that shape our weight. From genetics to the hustle of daily life, they explore the complex influences on what we eat and how it affects our weight. Forget the age-old advice of "eat less, move more"—their discussion will lead you on a journey through the often-overlooked aspects of weight management that go far beyond calorie counting.

Closing the loop, Maria and Tammie share their personal encounters with the real-life hurdles that complicate weight management, such as work stress, familial patterns, and the inevitable curveballs life throws their way. Whether it's navigating the challenges of sleep apnea or hormonal changes, or debunking misconceptions around conditions like COPD, they lay it all out on the table. This episode isn't just about shedding light on the issues—it's about empowering you with understanding and strategies for a healthier lifestyle, one informed choice at a time.
