Most people who end up in Jessica Turton’s health clinic have already tried everything from calorie tracking, low-fat, fasting, moving more, eating less… and still nothing works to shift weight. So what’s going on?
Ben sits down with Jessica - dietitian, nutritionist, researcher - to talk about what happens when your body’s been stuck in energy deficit for years, and how the real issue for many people isn’t overeating, it’s under eating.
They get into why most nutrition advice backfires, how your brain handles hunger, the impact of stress on metabolism and why we need to stop treating weight loss like a willpower problem.
We cover:
🧠 The real metabolic cost of chronic dieting
🥑 Low-carb ≠ low-calorie (and why that matters)
💉 Why type 2 diabetes is reversible if you treat the cause
🔥 Why most people are walking around under-fueled
💊 GLP-1s, binge cycles & the illusion of control
We also look at what low-carb actually looks like when done well, and how to eat more food without losing your mind. Fascinating if you've ever been in this cycle yourself (which is most of us) and how we might actually be able to break the loop.
