In this episode, we'll cover:

• The true reasons behind weight gain—it's not just "calories in vs. calories out."
• Why body image plays a key role in our motivation for weight loss.
• The risks of normalizing obesity while maintaining respect for body positivity.
• How calorie restriction and weight cycling (yo-yo dieting) damage metabolism and make weight loss harder.
• Why quality nutrition and cellular energy balance are the keys to sustainable fat loss.
• Steps to lose weight by supporting your health, not harming it.

My name is Ragnheiður (you can call me Ragna), and I'm your host - a medical doctor, a certified pre-/postnatal trainer, and most importantly, a mom of four and a wife. - This podcast is born from my dedication to uncovering the truths about nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle that genuinely benefit our bodies. We'll explore how to establish a lasting, healthy lifestyle that fits the reality of motherhood, how to enjoy an active, pain-free pregnancy, and how to navigate postpartum recovery to regain your fitness in a wholesome way. Join me as we debunk myths and discover the paths to excess energy, body confidence, and loving the life you live as a mom.
