In this episode, Gina and Dr. Olinca Trejo break down why weight loss is not about willpower. It’s all about hormones—and understanding how these chemical messengers shape everything from your cravings to your energy levels. Dr. Olinca explains why your hormones work more like an orchestra than a light switch, how lifestyle factors like stress and sleep throw everything off, and what’s really going on when you feel out of control around food. They also share what it takes to shift your body’s set point and why whole, nutrient-rich meals send the right messages. Plus, Dr. Olinca gets real about dopamine, emotional eating, and the daily habits that make the biggest difference. Stay tuned—in Part 2, they’ll delve into fat storage, stress, and how aging impacts metabolism.
Dr. Olinca is a licensed, board-certified Naturopathic Doctor in the province of Ontario. She also holds an honours degree in Kinesiology and has achieved her certification and internship in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
