#135 - Stress & Thyroid Deep Dive w/ Diego Reyes

In this episode of Talking Nutrition, Johan is joined by Diego Reyes to discuss all things stress and thyroid, and why taking a more functional approach to health and fitness is becoming more and more important these days. "You just need to be in a calorie deficit" is not the solution when you're dealing with functional issues, and addressing underlying issues such as hormonal imbalances, gut health, toxic load, and chronic stress needs to happen BEFORE focusing on aesthetic goals. In other words, you need to fix the inside, in order to create results on the outside.

Enjoy this week's episode, and remember that as complicated certain functional issues may sound or feel, it pretty much always boils down to the same basic lifestyle and nutritional practices like eating a micronutrient rich diet, eating enough calories, keeping stress low, and getting adequate sleep.
