The Grit & Grace Podcast with Dr. Lori Doddy

 A diagnosis shook DeShawn.  Then her father had an emergency surgery and a near death situation.

When those two things happened, DeShawn says she knew she'd "sink back into a hole." 

So instead of continuing to "think about it," she messaged me and started on her health journey in our 12 week metabolic coaching program. 

Listen in as she shares how that "fight" led her to make a transformative identity shift - a shift that she's ...

Grit, persistence, tenacity, and willpower... If we could harness its existence, we could do anything, right? 

So, how do we develop and continue to persist in those attributes? 

That is the million dollar question.  And a question I'm asked and interested in as it certainly seems key to our success in not only achieving weight loss and health goals, but also in succeeding at nearly everything in life. 

Well, in this episode, I s...

This week I share food, fun, business, and personal updates. 

I unexpectedly got into thoughts around spending time with loved ones - in particular our grown kids.  And I share thoughts around how that impacts our relationships as well as our identity at this stage of life.

I also chat about how our lives has recently changed in terms of daily routines and how that affects eating schedules.  In that, I share some tips for quick, ...

In this episode, I talk about weight loss versus fat loss - the latter being what YOU say you really want. 

And I share what it actually takes to successfully drop that stubborn fat despite the hormone changes and metabolic struggles of menopause. 

There's certainly a nuance to doing it in a healthy way that lasts because it's much more complex than "calories in, calories out." 

And if you're serious about wanting to lose weight...

Listen in as Gwen explains how and why it took strategy and support to help her lose over 100 lbs in 10 months! 

Gwen was one of my first clients almost 10 years ago.  In her early 60s, she started her weight loss and health journey when she thought she was "too old" and it was "too late."

She'd lost weight many times previously on her own. You'll hear how she was the "lady of a 1000 diets."  So she didn't think she needed help.

This time in life is such a physical transition.  I chat about the weight gain, the slugglish metabolism, the hormone struggles, night sweats, and more.  And I help women solve those issues for good.

 But it's about so much more than the physical changes we experience. This transition comes with emotional struggles too. 

And here's the thing...

Even when we manage ALL of these cha...

This episode has been a long time in coming. And it may elicit debate. But the fact is…

Weight loss injections are here, and they’re not going away.

So more than ever, women are asking me questions about them, including, “Are they cheating?” or “Can I join your program?” or “Will you help me if I’m using it?”

In this episode, I answer those questions.  But I also talk about how these weight loss drugs work, clarify ...

In this episode, I chat with Whitney, who recently completed my 12 week Metabolic Resuscitation System and coaching program. 

Her story is similar to many of the women coming into metabolic coaching with me:

She knows how to eat healthy.  She's worked out for years.  She was even an athlete in high school. But nothing was working for her anymore, so her frustration with her body mounted. 

Until... ...

Whether you're experiencing the very beginnings of perimenopausal challenges, you're in menopause, or even post-menopausal...

In this transitional period of life, you to face different kinds of body and health struggles. The typical ways of "eating healthy" and "clean eating" just don't work during this time.
