#279 - Losing 18 lbs, improving her cycle and becoming more resilient with Paige Yang

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Paige, a dedicated client, doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, and a vibrant personality from the beautiful state of Hawaii.

Paige shares her extensive background in competitive gymnastics, her struggles with body image and food restriction from a young age, and her battle with metabolic and endocrine issues, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis and PCOS. Discover how she embarked on a transformative journey towards a healthier, more resilient version of herself.

With a focus on restoring metabolism, the podcast delves into the sustainable approach to weight loss that allows for eating more, training less, and achieving lasting results. Paige's experience in the program shows remarkable outcomes, including significant body composition changes and weight loss, all while fostering a deep sense of strength and resilience.

Paige highlights profound changes in her menstrual cycle, endurance levels, and mental health. Learn how addressing deep-rooted issues and embracing a balanced nutritional approach led to overcoming what she thought was a severe 'sugar addiction' and achieving a sense of balance and well-being.

The episode emphasizes the critical role of personalized coaching in navigating the weight loss journey. Paige praises her coach's empathetic and empowering support, illustrating how tailored guidance and accountability can pave the way for success.

For anyone sitting on the fence about embarking on their wellness journey, Paige offers invaluable advice. Investing in oneself and prioritizing long-term health over temporary external validations can lead to profound and lasting fulfillment.

Tune in to this episode for an inspiring dose of motivation, practical advice, and a real-life success story.
