Inside this Episode
In today's modern society of fast, efficient and 'get to the point' business our bodies are 'frustratingly' not doing the same.  We are making life around us 'tech-focused' and yet our bodies are not evolving to keep up with this pace of change and activity around us.  Many of us struggle with the weigh loss question regularly.  We all want to be slimmer, healthier, have a better sense of well being.  All that is hard to do when we stand on the scales each week and what we would think of as a successful week of being healthy and building a better well being, only to find the scales haven't change.  Disappointment prevails.  BUT.... sometimes its no just the scales and a lot of the time most of us don't educate ourselves about things like nutrition, understanding our bodies better and recognise our own stress levels.   

Earlier this year I interview Laura Holland, a Dubai based Entrepreneur specialising in nutrition, holistic weight loss & a Well Being Coach. I had read her article in the National  and wondered if she could elaborate a bit more on her 6 reason's why you might be struggling to lose weight.  I to have had an ongoing weight battle. I consider myself relatively fit but I wasn't losing weight so I want to explore this further using this article as a bouncing board.  That is what we did in this podcast.  Have a listen.
