Women's health expert Lara Briden believes that weight gain is primarily the symptom of metabolic dysfunction, not the cause. And if you have metabolic dysfunction, it's because something is amiss with your brain's regulatory mechanism, not your willpower.

Drawing on her experience with thousands of patients, Lara has created a 10-step trouble-shooting solution that will help you identify your personal metabolic obstacles, such as hormonal issues, digestive problems, ultra-processed food, chronic stress and inadequate sleep.

Lara offers actionable strategies for overcoming these obstacles and explains why a simple intervention, such as fixing your gut, can reverberate through your entire system and help to regulate hunger and burn more energy.

Underpinned by solid science, patient studies and practical advice, this is a compassionate, reality-based guide to repairing your metabolism and reclaiming your health.
