Sustainable weight loss strategies for supporting brain health

How to Protect Your Brain by Achieving Your Ideal Weight

January 18, 20251 min read

"The weight loss industry is built on repeat customers. True health comes from changing how you live, not what you temporarily restrict."- Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, author of Food Fix

Overview

What if your weight could impact your brain health?

It’s true: as our weight goes up, the size and function of our brain goes down*. This connection is one of the reasons why brain and mental health challenges are on the rise.

In this video, I share my journey of losing 28 pounds and keeping it off for 11 years - without restrictive diets. I’ll explain why diets don’t work, how they can actually make things worse, and share three simple strategies that not only helped me maintain a healthy weight but also support brain health.

If you care about protecting your brain and breaking free from the frustration of dieting, this video is for you. Watch now and discover how small changes can lead to big, lasting results!
