Could your gut health be the hidden reason you can’t lose weight?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Shayne Morris — a third-generation supplement innovator with over 40 years in the health industry — to break down how your microbiome impacts fat loss, metabolism, and long-term health.

We explore why the modern diet, environmental toxins, and lifestyle habits have hijacked our natural metabolic processes — and how you can reclaim your health with natural, science-backed solutions.
