Could your genes be the missing piece in your fertility and weight loss journey? In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, we explore how genetics—not just hormones or lifestyle—may be silently shaping your reproductive health, metabolism, and cravings.
Discover how genetic testing reveals your unique “Genetic Avatar”—like Cortisol Carrier, Hormone Havoc, or Cravings Captive—and what it means for your personalized path to better fertility, balanced hormones, and sustainable weight loss.
In this episode, I talked with Dr Phyllis Pobee. Dr. Phyllis Pobee is a triple-board-certified physician who lost 100 pounds using genetic science. She now helps women over 30 unlock sustainable weight loss, balance hormones, and optimize fertility—without fad diets or surgery. As the author of Lean Genes, she’s on a mission to change the way we approach weight and health for good.
